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... -
