The purpose of this report is to present results and background information for the Middle Skeena Watershed fish passage assessment along Highway #16. In July 2004 the Skeena Fisheries Commission was retained by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans,... -
Forecast For Northern British Columbia Coho Salmon
These research papers document forecasts of marine survival and abundance for the coho of northern British Columbia including the Upper Skeena conservation area. -
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salm...
In the current study, we evaluate the utility of using the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one MHC locus for lake-specific identification of sockeye salmon over its natural range. This evaluation is conducted by examining the accuracy and precision... -

Bulkley River Watershed Overwintering Study Reports
This dataset contains all of the overwintering studies in the Bulkley River watershed. This over-wintering monitoring was conducted to provide background data to assist Habitat Management staff and Resource Restoration staff in liaising with various... -
Buck Creek Juvenile Salmonid Emigration Program: Autumn 2000
The Community Futures Development Corporation of Nadina operated a rotary screw trap (RST) on Buck Creek in the upper Bulkley River from August to November, 2000. The purpose of this study was to determine what portion of the coded wire tagged coho salmon... -
Buck Creek Juvenile Salmon Trapping Programs
Juvenile coho, chinook, and rainbow trout/steelhead were sampled for the second and third consecutive years in Buck Creek using a rotary screw trap RST. The RST was sampled nightly to collect data on discharge, water temperature, and trap performance were... -
Baseline Fish Health Monitoring Program Bulkley and Babine Rivers
Six stocks of salmon from the Babine and Bulkley Rivers were sampled for prevalence of bacterial and viral infections and for the presence and level of parasite infestation. -
Baseline Fish Health Monitoring Program Bulkley River and Babine River 2003
Six stocks of salmon from the Babine and Bulkley Rivers were sampled for prevalence of bacterial and viral infections and for presence and level of parasite infestation. On the Babine River mainstem downstream of the Babine Lake outlet and at the Babine... -
Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon Populations of Babine Lake
This study aims to find evidence of changes in the abundance of sockeye relative to spawning numbers, and evidence of the dispersal and subsequent distribution of juveniles in the lake to determine the extent to which the available lake nursery area is... -
Assessment Update for Morice-Nanika Sockeye 2001/2002
The Morice-Nanika sockeye stock has been assessed by the DFO since the late 1940's. Over the past two years both DFO and Wet'suwet'en Fisheries have been addressing Morice-Nanika stock status with respect to productive potential and exploitation rate trends... -
Area 4 Chum Escapement Survey Plan
This project was an evaluation of the Skeena chum escapement survey plan against the requirement to provide representative indices of spawner abundance. -
Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Compositio...
Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river... -
