Diel Vertical Movements and Feeding Habits of Underyearling Sockeye Salmon (O...
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... -
Assessment of Wild Steelhead Abundance Trends in British Columbia (1967/68-19...
Intra-regional similarities and inter-regional differences in wild steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance patterns over time throughout British Columbia were identified using Catch-per-Angler-Day (CpAD) as an index of abundance of wild in-river adult... -
Fisheries Problems Associated with the Development of Logging Plans within th...
This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of... -
The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -
The Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -

Provisional Estimates of Numbers and Biomass for Natural-Origin and Hatchery-...
This report provides provisional abundance estimates for pink, chum, and sockeye salmon in major regions of the North Pacific from 1952 through 2015 in terms of: numbers of natural- origin and hatchery-origin salmon returns (i.e., catch plus escapement),... -
A Review of the Babine Lake Development Project 1961-1976
This report describes the results of the Babine Development Project evaluation program relative to the individual components within project, containing components which describe the individual projects from the predevelopment stage to the present. -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
