This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors...

This paper examines the factors that could account for persistence of the indigenous fishery, despite numerous environmental and cultural changes over the last several millennia.

This analysis report provides a foundation upon which other researchers can base investigations into drivers of sockeye productivity for the Fraser River and elsewhere.

Preliminary monthly groundwater budgets were developed for seven aquifers in the Hopington - Salmon River Area of British Columbia in order to support groundwater allocation and licensing under the Water Sustainability Act.

This report presents a literature review of surface water - groundwater (SW-GW) interactions, including case studies in BC, and an approach for characterizing SW-GW connectivity based on the BC aquifer classification scheme. It provides an evaluation of...

The study evaluates groundwater quality within wells in the South Wellington, Cassidy and North Oyster areas, south of Nanaimo, Vancouver Island. It includes detailed results and interpretation of geochemical and bacteria water quality sampling, provides...

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...

This report reviews archival data on the earliest harvest of Pacific salmon in British Columbia by Europeans, first considering subsistence and export production by the Hudson's Bay Company and then the export production by the private entrepreneurs during...

A thesis explaining the changing geography of British Columbia's commercial salmon canning industry between 1870 and 1931.

The report contains a concise summary report outlining the findings of this study on the potential impact of coal and coal contaminated sediments on marine life.

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 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...

The purpose of this paper is to examine institutional learning in on particular circumstance, the construction, operation, and management of artificial spawning channels for sockeye salmon in B.C.

An overview of the evolutionary and ecological impacts of infectious diseases, shifting climates, and opportunistic predators in wild salmon and suggested ways in which modern technologies can elucidate the microparasites of greatest potential import.

The conclusions of Ricker (1958) are confirmed in series of 200 generations in which environment effects are simulated

This report looks at First Nations and their historic connection to salmon fisheries, it enumerates the changes that occurred with the evolution of salmon fisheries into commercial venues, and it looks at present-day conservation issues and the challenges...

This paper presents brief arguments to establish a case for the allocation to river-based First Nations of significantly greater catches of salmon than they currently receive. It also makes the case that an increase in the allocation of salmon to river...

The Reports usually contain papers from international workshops and research projects at the Centre. They report terminal works that are abstracted in Aquatic Science and Fisheries Abstracts, for the benefit of researchers around the world.
