The report is a short review of recent events and assesses current trends of the Skeena sockeye situation. -
Extended Time-series of Catch and Escapement Estimates for Skeena Sockeye, Pi...
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... -
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... -

A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -
In Season Forecasting of Skeena River Sockeye Run Size Using Bayesian Probabi...
This report examines the utility of using Bayesian probability theory to combine several inseason estimators of Canadian Area 4 Skeena River sockeye run-size into a single best estimate of total return. The inseason estimators were configured in two... -
Prospects for the 1948 Salmon Catch on the Skeena River
From time to time enquiries have been made of the investigators as to their opinions of the size of runs which can be expected in a given area in an approaching season. For that reason the following comments are being recorded for the Skeena river in 1948.... -
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... -
Times of Passage of Skeena River Sockeye and Pink Salmon Through the Commerci...
The purpose of this report is to review the information presently available, which bears on the times of passage of the various Skeena sockeye and pink salmon stocks through the commercial fishing area. Also, it is hoped that some of this information may... -
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... -
