A Comparison of Scale, Finray and Otolith Derived Ages in Dolly Varden Char a...
Twenty-four Dolly Varden char from the lower Skeena River and 28 cutthroat trout from Mosquito Lake on the Queen Charlotte Islands were aged independently using finrays, otoliths and scales. Implications of these discrepancies to the management of Dolly... -
The Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -
Skeena Salmon Test Fishery 1987
Information relating to the Skeena River gillnet test fishery program for 1987 and a summary for the years 1955 to 1976 is presented in this report. Daily catch of all salmon species (Oncorhynchus~) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) are detailed by set... -
Morice River Steelhead Trout: the 1976 and 1977 Sport Fishery and Life Histor...
The Morice River, located in West-central British Columbia, is one of several Skeena River tributaries that support a late summer and fall sport fishery for steelhead trout. In response to declining angler success on the Morice over the past decade, an... -
Maternal Influences on the Age at Maturity of Skeena River Sockeye Salmon (On...
The purpose of these studies was to examine maternal influences on age at maturity of Skeena River sockeye salmon which, when considered along with several other correlated phenomena, lead to an hypothesis of alternation of generations. -
Juvenile Steelhead Surveys in the Kitwanga, Morice, Sustut and Zymoetz Rivers
Surveys of juvenile steelhead fry and parr abundance were conducted on four steelhead systems tributary to the Skeena River in northwestern B.C. for three consecutive years. The four systems assessed were the Kitwanga, Morice, Sustut and Zymoetz (Copper)... -
Fish Population Monitoring in Foxy and Buck Creeks
Sampling at fish index sites was conducted at five locations in Foxy and Buck creeks for Equity Silver Mines Ltd. from September 1988 to 1991. -
Assessment of Steelhead Enhancement Opportunities in the Morice River System
Juvenile salmonid populations in two tributary streams to the Morice River system, Owen and Lamprey Creeks, were assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in the fall of 1980. Objectives were directed at steelhead enhancement opportunities in the two... -
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... -
Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
A Life History Model for Assessing Alternative Management Policies for Depres...
Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment...
