In effort to ameliorate riparian vegetation, and reduce streambank erosion on the Upper Bulkley River, willow (Salix Spp.) cuttings were planted on private land parcels along the banks of the river at four sites. Each property had similar problems which was...

The Annual Monitoring Plan sets out the year’s proposed activities and budget which are created from the MWMT Monitoring Framework and is consistent with the MWMT Agreement.

This record is the continuation of a pilot project undertaken in the Central Coast (Areas 6-7-8-9-10) during the 1983, 1984, and 1985 salmon seasons. It was designed as an in-season management tool and as a record of the fishery and of the management...

During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were...

Sockeye underyearlings at Babine Lake. B.C. were observed to undergo diel vertical movement from July through to October 1967. This movement was more pronounced in August when the lake was most distinctly thermally stratified. The presence of a sharp...

The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in...

British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are...

This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their...

For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and...

Studies in Porpoise Channel, Porpoise Harbour and Wainwright Basin during 1986 encompassed physical, chemical, and biological assessments of the local environment. These parameters ultimately being related to the discharge of kraft pulpmill effluent into...

Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluations arose out of the Forest and Range Practices Act as a way of measuring the effectiveness of the Act in accomplishing its forest stewardship objectives. The field procedure for Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluation...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership proposed to design, construct, and operate two pipelines extending from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia. Field surveys completed included sampling of fish species assemblages and habitat...

Map series depicting various marine values along the North Coast.

The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

In 1974 and 1975, the Fish and Wildlife Branch conducted field studies on the fish and wildlife populations in the Nanika-Kidprice system which would be affected by the proposed Kemano II project. The field portion of these studies was funded by B.C. Hydro....
