Diel Vertical Movements and Feeding Habits of Underyearling Sockeye Salmon (O...
Sockeye underyearlings at Babine Lake. B.C. were observed to undergo diel vertical movement from July through to October 1967. This movement was more pronounced in August when the lake was most distinctly thermally stratified. The presence of a sharp... -
Orientation Differences Between Populations of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon
British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are... -
Update Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production from Babine Lake, British Colu...
Wood et al. (1998) provided the last formal assessment of sockeye production from Babine Lake using production data spanning the 1950-1996 return years (1950-1991 brood years). This update adds 14 more years to the data series (1950-2010 return years,... -
Some Aspects of Food and Growth of Fish Species in Babine Lake
Food preferences and growth rates of various fish species in Babine Lake were analyzed. Kokanee fed primarily on plankton and insects, with no fish recorded in the diet. Insects were generally the most significant component of the diet of rainbow trout,... -
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... -
Catalogue of Salmon Streams and Spawning Escapements of Statistical Area 4 (U...
This resource from Ecocat is a catalogue containing each stream's location, spawning distribution, barriers and points of difficult ascent, escapement records, and other general data pertaining to the stream. The catalogue also includes a topographical map... -
Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Research Document Series
This series documents the scientific basis for the evaluation of aquatic resources and ecosystems in Canada. -
Biophysical Stream Survey of Fourteen Sockeye Streams Tributary to Babine-Nil...
This stream inventory aims to employ a biophysical method of aquatic systems inventory to the fourteen sockeyes streams, experiment with methodology based on low-level Arial inventory, and provide Fisheries Service personnel with a better data base. -
Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production in Babine Lake, British Columbia with...
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system in that it brings together, for the first time in many years, recently compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry... -
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 of Freshwater Production of Sockeye Salmon in Babine Lake
This paper is intended as the first step towards a comprehensive assessment of the status of Babine Lake sockeye salmon. The primary objective of this paper is to assess the status of freshwater production of salmon in Babine lake and to provide corrected... -
A Review of the Babine Lake Development Project 1961-1976
This report describes the results of the Babine Development Project evaluation program relative to the individual components within project, containing components which describe the individual projects from the predevelopment stage to the present. -
A Preliminary Evaluation of the Environmental Impact of Mining, Community Dev...
An ecological study to assess the impact of environmental changes on the Babine sockeye production is currently being conducted under the auspices of the Babine Watershed Change Program. Specifically the Environmental Quality Unit of the Northern Operations... -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
Results of a Three Year Monitoring Program of Log Handling Activities on Babi...
This report presents the data collected during the downstream trapping and beach seining programs at Babine Lake during the years 1983, 1984 and 1985. -
Incidental Tag Returns from a 1970 Steelhead Tagging Program on the Babine Ri...
An additional report regarding the tag-recapture program instituted in cooperation with fishing lodges on the Babine River, aiming to provide some ancillary biological information. -
Evidence for Size-Selective Mortality of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchu...
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of body size at emergence on the subsequent survival of sockeye salmon fry in Babine Lake, British Columbia. -
Babine lake Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Enhancement Program: Testing ...
This paper serves as an after study to the Babine Lake Sockeye Enhancement Program and its assumptions. These assumptions are as follows: The artificial spawning channels provide an effective means of producing sockeye fry, the fry are viable from their...
