Babine Lake: Data From Chemical and Biological Surveys, May 83, May 84, July 84
Water quality data were obtained in May 1983, May 1984, and July 1984 in Babine Lake to determine if there was any impact from the Bell Copper Mine discharges. Physical and chemical water quality data were collected associated with taxonomic and metal... -
Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
A Review of the Limnology and Sockeye Salmon Ecology of Babine Lake
This literature review summarizes the academic understanding of Babine Lake ecosystems during the 1980s, also providing information on the log storage and handling aspects at the time. -
A Review of the Babine River Counting Fence Biological Program 1987 and 1988
This data report contains daily fence counts for, sockeye, chinook, pink, coho and steelhead salmon (Oncorhynchus). Length, sex and where available age information for sockeye, pink, chinook and coho are presented as well. In 1987 1,307,852 large Sockeye ,... -
A Reconnaissance Survey of Toboggan Lake
This survey data includes information regarding the location, physical data, terrain features, water chemistry and temperature, obstructions and pollutions, miscellaneous, netting results, stomach analysis, resort and campsite, habitation, access, oxygen,... -
A Reconnaissance Survey of McQuarrie Lake
This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in McQuarrie Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This included oxygen and temperature profiles, water chemistry data, obstructions,... -
A Preliminary Investigation of Kitsumkalum River Steelhead Trout 1980-81
Increasing angling pressure combined with intensive logging in the upper watershed and growing human development in the lower watershed during recent years prompted the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch to conduct a preliminary investigation of Kalum River... -
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... -
Toward a Fish Habitat Decision on the Kemano Completion Project: A Discussion...
The Kemano Completion Project is massive. The Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) proposes a capital expenditure in excess of $2.2 billion which could increase aluminum production from its present level of 240,000 metric tonnes per year to 582,000 metric... -
Stock Assessment of Early Run Skeena River Coho Salmon and Recommendations
Concerns have previously been expressed for the stock status of early run Skeena River coho salmon because of declining escapement levels. Available data on spawning escapements and subsequent recruitment were analyzed using a Ricker model under various... -
The Incidence of Regenerated Scales Among Fraser River and Skeena River Socke...
Scales of 4 and 5 year-old Skeena River and 4 year-old Fraser River sockeye of the 1963 brood year were examined for the incidence of regenerated scales. For the Skeena and Fraser 4 year-old sockeye the incidence of regenerated scales was 11.1% and 8.2%,... -
Zooplankton Abundance in Lakes Sampled by the 1978 British Columbia Lake Enri...
Zooplankton samples were collected from 14 lakes on the Central and North Coast and the Skeena and Nass systems. The purpose of the sampling was to collect data on zooplankton abundance and species composition from a fertilized lake (Long) and lakes being... -

Rationale and Follow-up on Terminating Nutrient Treatment of Morice Lake
Returns of sockeye salmon to the Morice-Nanika production system (tributary to the Skeena River) routinely exceeded 60,000 pieces prior to 1950. Between 1950 and 1955 escapements declined precipitously to only a few thousand adults and this condition has... -
Lakelse Lake: A Collation of Research Studies and Government Documents
This reference guide has been put together for the Lakelse Watershed Stewards Society and while some aspects will seem quite familiar, other portions may be new material and have relevance to some of the concerns raised by the Lakelse Watershed Stewards... -
Hydroacoustic Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon in Babine Lake, British C...
This paper aims to assess the lacustrine distribution of juvenile sockeye salmon and estimate their total numbers at the latest practicable time before severe autumn lake conditions render such work impossible (1982). -
Assessment of Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks in the Northern Boundary Area Us...
A multi-time-period method of stock reconstruction was used to estimate harvest and stock interception rates by area and time period, exploitation rates and total run size by stock. The data required for these reconstructions were catch by time and area,... -
1980 Morice River Coded Wire Tagging (CWT) Program
As a precursor to a proposed hatchery facility, bio-baseline and manageability studies were initiated in the spring of 1979 and continued in the spring of 1980. The purpose of the downstream portion of the 1980 study was four-fold: 1) to capture, rear and... -
