During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were...

The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in...

The Toboggan Creek Hatchery attempts to preserve and enhance the stocks of Coho and Chinook salmon populations in the Bulkley-Morice drainages. This dataset includes annual reports on the brood, escapement and return for the Toboggan Creek Hatchery.

This report provides general history of the Skeena River commercial salmon fishery from 1877 to 1948. The changes in fishing areas, seasons and fishing methods are described, together with the trends in the catches obtained.

Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a...

This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size...

This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena...

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...

This eleventh report of an annual series updates the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems.

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.

The Skeena River Salmon Management Committee established the Skeena River gillnet test fishery in 1955. The test fishery is used to monitor sockeye and pink salmon escapement during the management season (June-September). As a secondary function, the test...

This report by the Northern Boundary Technical Committee (NBTC) includes a summary of information on coho salmon stocks and fisheries in the northern Boundary area of Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia. The stocks, fisheries and management are...

This report provides details on the methods used to convert the escapement estimates for indicator stream into total escapement estimates for each SA and CU as well as a description of the methods used to estimate the exploitation rates needed to compute...

The report is a short review of recent events and assesses current trends of the Skeena sockeye situation.

This report is concerned with the results of age composition sampling sockeye, pink and chum salmon catches in 1966.

This report discusses the trade-off fisheries managers are faced with that remains unresolved – how to reap the benefits from commercially valuable stocks while maintaining diversity essential for sustainability.

The Skeena River supports over 75 separate spawning populations of Chinook salmon. Four river systems, the Kitsumkalum, Morice, Kispiox and Bear Rivers account for approximately 70% of the total spawner abundance. Fisheries managers and stock assessment...

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

This document provides a brief summary of the methods used to expand the time series of catch, escapement and exploitation rate estimates from the 1980-2010 estimates (English et al. 2012) back to 1960 for Skeena sockeye Conservation Units (CUs) and 1954...

Evaluation of the efforts made to design a mark-recapture program that could potentially meet several objective in a cost-effective fashion.
