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... -
Salmonid Habitat Sensitivity Mapping Morice Forest District: Summary Report
In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals... -
Research Document 2004/010: Production Relationships for Wild Skeena River So...
This paper outlines stock status for wild Skeena River sockeye salmon based on updated assessments of freshwater production in nursery lakes, available catch and escapement data, and modelled exploitation rates. -
Research Document 2001/098: Factors Limiting Juvenile Sockeye Production
This report presents summaries of data collected from 60 B.C sockeye nursery lakes between 1977 and 2000. Factors which constrain sockeye production in each lake and, where possible, make recommendations on the technique(s) most likely to increase stock... -
Report of the Skeena Independent Science Review Panel
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. -
