Skeena River Steelhead Stock- Assessment Program: 1994 Catch and Escapement M...
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... -
Adult and Juvenile Coho Salmon Enumeration and Coded-Wire Tag Recovery Analys...
Adult and juvenile coho migrations were monitored at Zolzap Creek, British Columbia, as part of the 2002-2003 Nisga'a Fisheries Program. The 2002 season is the eleventh year of continuous operation of the Zolzap Creek fences since 1992. This report includes... -
Sustut River Steelhead Investigations, 1986
The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -
Skeena Sockeye In-River Run Reconstruction Analysis Model and Analysis Result...
This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena... -
Skeena River Sockeye Escapement and Distribution
This report presents the various methods employed for determining the escapements to each known spawning area, the spawning estimates made for the years 1944 to 1948, and maps of the sockeye distribution in the Skeena watershed. -
Skeena River Selective Harvest Monitoring Projects
The purpose of this study is to quantitate and validate native fish harvests (food fishery harvests and excess salmon spawning requirement [ESSR] harvests) and releases in 1995. The reports analyze different methods of harvest used by indigenous communities... -
Rates of Movement and Timing of Migrations of Steelhead Trout To and Within t...
Summer-run steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returning to the Skeena River system were radio-tagged to determine their rates of movement through commercial salmon fisheries near the river mouth. The run timing of individual spawning population was also... -
Gitksan - Wet'suwet'en Watershed Authorities Season End Reports
These reports summarize the activities of the Gitksan and Watershed Authorities. They summarize and present the field data, including the tagging programme, and they offer discussion in regard to its interpretation. These reports consist of three main... -
Estuarine and Ocean Survival of Northeastern Pacific Salmon
The proceedings of an estuarine and ocean survival of Northeastern Pacific salmon workshop. This paper provides the outline, along with presentations and papers from the workshop. -
Description of a Daily Simulation Model for the Area 4 (Skeena) Commercial Gi...
This report describes a daily simulation model for the Area 4 commercial gillnet fishery. The model evaluates the effects of various gillnet fishing patterns on the catch and escapement of sockeye, steelhead (including sub-stocks), early-run coho, chinook,... -
Biophysical Reconnaissance of the Morice River System, 1978-1980
A bio-manageability study of chinook and coho salmon was carried out on the Morice River near Houston, B.C. from the fall of 1978 to mid-1980. The objective of the program was to code wire tag at least 50,000 chinook fry from the 1978 and 1979 broods and as... -
Babine Steelhead - A Future
The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,... -
A Summary of Coded Wire tag recovery information from northern BC and Alaskan...
Estimated adjusted coded wire tag (CWT) recovery data for 3-year age class coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) tagged in lower Skeena River (Thornhill Creek/Eby Street, Terrace) and upper Skeena River (Kispiox River, Toboggan Creek, Fort Babine, Fulton... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -
Times of Passage of Skeena River Sockeye and Pink Salmon Through the Commerci...
The purpose of this report is to review the information presently available, which bears on the times of passage of the various Skeena sockeye and pink salmon stocks through the commercial fishing area. Also, it is hoped that some of this information may... -
The Migration Times of the Skeena River Sockeye Runs Through the Estuary as I...
During the years from 1944 to 1948, inclusive, and during 1955, sockeye salmon were tagged in the estuary of the Skeena River partly to determine whether there is any segregation of populations destined to the various tributary lakes in point of time of...
