DFO Area 4 Annual Narrative Reports from 1973 to 1984. Reports include comments on spawning summaries (coho, sockeye, pink and chinook), commercial fisheries, sport fisheries, Indian Food fisheries, water levels, herring, pollution (chemical spills),...

A compilation of various studies and emails between the researchers and the Ministry of Environment in regards to Lakelse Lake and River assessment through the years of 1969-2001.

Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

Steelhead trout are angled from the Zymoetz River, (locally known as the "Copper") near the City of Terrace on the west coast of British Columbia. The "Copper" was labeled as an "Everyman's River" by Pinsent and Chudyk. Recent studies (Imbleau M.S. 1974;...

The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing...

This report assess present water quality of the mainstem Bulkley and Morice Rivers, to predict future water quality, and to recommend water uses that should be protected, and to recommend provisional water quality objectives to protect those uses.

The purpose of this regional planning statement is to provide long term direction for fisheries management in the Skeena region. This is accomplished through analysis of fish production, fishery utilization and management strategies over the next 10 to 20...

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...

Radio tagging studies were carried out on four Skeena River tributaries and one Nass River tributary in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. This study aimed to monitor movements of steelhead within the tributaries...

The purpose of this thesis is to adequately and accurately outline the perspectives of both the user (harvester) groups in the B.C. salmon fisheries and the modern professionals-in-practice who are struggling to manage this system. Our underlying purpose is...

This study quantifies the inputs of phosphorus from various sources and determines the extent to which additional phosphorus could be tolerated by each lake without a serious decrease in water quality. Based on this information, appropriate land uses and...

Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery.

The objectives of the project were to determine angler effort, catch and success rate as well as angler origin, distribution of effort by time and space, and tackle preference.

The Bulkley River and its major tributary, Morice River, support one of the most intense steelhead trout fisheries in British Columbia. Although on—river creel surveys have been conducted in recent years on the Morice River, very little creel data had been...

This report reviews management actions and documents how management decisions for commercial fisheries in Areas 3, 4, and 5 were made, what information was used, how it was interpreted and what the results were in terms of catch and escapement.

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...
