Trends in abundance and pre-season 2000 stock size forecasts for major sockeye, pink, and chum salmon stocks in the central coast and selected salmon stocks in Northern British Columbia, statistical areas 1-10. The recommended forecasts are based on simple... -
The 1995 Skeena River Gillnet and Seine Sampling Program
The 1995 Skeena River Fisheries Technician Program was tasked to work on grounds monitoring the area 4 gillnet and special seine fishery. The project was timed to coincide with peak catches of steelhead expected in and around the Skeena River mouth. The... -

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. -
Provisional Estimates of Numbers and Biomass for Natural-Origin and Hatchery-...
This report provides provisional abundance estimates for pink, chum, and sockeye salmon in major regions of the North Pacific from 1952 through 2015 in terms of: numbers of natural- origin and hatchery-origin salmon returns (i.e., catch plus escapement),... -
