Fisheries Research Board of Canada: Manuscript Reports of the Biological Station
Since 1950, creel census studies have been conducted as a part of the program of sockeye salmon research at Lakelse. To gain a greater understanding of the cut-throat population and its relationship to the survival of young sockeye pertinent information was... -
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... -
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. -
Comparison of the Fecundity of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Ske...
Skeena River sockeye salmon are caught by the fishery mainly with gillnets. It is generally recognized that gillnets are selective for size. Foskett (1958) compared the size of sockeye sampled from the Rivers Inlet catch with the size of those sampled from... -
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... -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
The Incidence of Regenerated Scales Among Fraser River and Skeena River Socke...
Scales of 4 and 5 year-old Skeena River and 4 year-old Fraser River sockeye of the 1963 brood year were examined for the incidence of regenerated scales. For the Skeena and Fraser 4 year-old sockeye the incidence of regenerated scales was 11.1% and 8.2%,... -
Evaluation of the Sampling of the Skeena River 1968 Sockeye Catch
This report outlines the evaluation of the Skeena River 1968 Sockeye Catch. The sampling of sockeye and chum salmon was reduced in 1968 after a statistical evaluation was made to determine the effort required to provide reliable estimates of the age, size... -
Age and Size of Rainbow Trout at the Outlet of Babine Lake and in Babine River
Rainbow trout are the most important sport fish in terms of angling effort in the Babine Lake system. Griffiths (1968) has reported on the age and growth of rainbow trout in the main part of Babine Lake but little or no information exists for Babine River....
