Provides general information on estuaries and their importance.

This report addresses Stage II of the Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Planning process by developing the biophysical profile of the Morice Watershed. Stage II produced a biophysical and sociopolitical profile of each of the priority watershed planning...

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...

A summary of the retained salmon in Moricetown Canyon, the mark and recapture program, the Nanika agreement and conservation concerns.

The dataset details reports on the Lakelse Sockeye Rehabilitation Project lasting from 2005 to 2006. The project was conducted on Lakelse Lake Tributaries and provides mapping of stream habitats and spawn locations, along with escapement data.

This report briefly outlines the changes taking place in the commercial, aboriginal and recreational fisheries and the challenges they face. Further described is a vision for the post-treaty fisheries, and reforms needed to realize the improvement and...

The Upper Bulkley River coho are an extreme conservation concern. The objective for Upper Bulkley coho was to release up to 80K fry to rearing areas in the watershed that are currently under-utilized. Coho released as fry would be subjected to natural...

This study provides a listing of individual stocks and their status classification for the entire Skeena system.

This project aims to inform the Babine Watershed Monitoring Trust about new research related to spatial patterns on landscapes, and to thereby reduce uncertainty related to pattern. Phase II will analyse old and mature forest distribution.

This background report is a first step towards understanding the Skeena Basin linkages to PNCIMA, how they work, and how these factors integrate into larger planning efforts. The major emphasis is on presenting Skeena Basin First Nations information,...

This report builds on two earlier reports: The Evolution of Commercial Salmon Fishing in BC (Nelson and Turris 2004), and The Evolution of the Recreational Fishery in BC (Kristianson and Strongitharm 2006). This report specifically addresses the issue of...

The Panel’s report is divided into five major topic areas: (1) the fish and the fisheries, (2) habitat status and protection, (3) critical monitoring needs for future management, (4) governance, and (5) recommendations.

This report provides results from Step 3, Identifying Metrics and Benchmarks for habitat indicators being considered by DFO for Strategy 2 of the Wild Salmon Policy.

This report lays out solutions and recommendations aimed at bringing a high degree of certainty to aboriginal and non-aboriginal interests alike while ensuring the conservation of fisheries resources. Following is a brief description of each section of the...

This report provides details on the methods used to convert the escapement estimates for indicator stream into total escapement estimates for each SA and CU as well as a description of the methods used to estimate the exploitation rates needed to compute...

This report provides an account of current participation in all BC commercial fisheries by Native individuals, companies, and organizations, background on licensing, policies and government programs affecting Native participation and base-line data for...

This dataset contains elements of the Morrison Copper/Gold mine application which are relevant to salmon in the Skeena watershed. The document itself and its appendices constitute Pacific Booker Minerals' application for a certificate under the British...

The purpose of the Morice Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Plan is to sustain robust fish populations and fully functioning aquatic ecosystems in the Morice River watershed. The goals of the plan are to: • Maintain and protect existing fish habitat; •...

This operational plan is the initial product of a partnership between the Office of the Wet’suwet’en and the Province of British Columbia to develop a water monitoring and assessment system for the recently established Morice Water Management Area (MWMA).

Allelic variation at 10 microsatellite loci was assayed in potentially wild steelhead trout collected from 11 tributaries and three upper main stem river sites, and compared to steelhead trout from the hatchery operated in the lower main stem river. The...
