The Selective Action of Gillnets on Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks
The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective... -
The Return of Sockeye Salmon Marked at Babine and Lakelse Lakes
The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"... -
Spawning Stock Size and Resultant Production for Skeena Sockeye
This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size... -
