This report constitutes the Skeena Watershed Fish Sustainability Process Stage I document. Conserving Skeena Fish Populations and Their Habitat describes the planning process that includes prioritizing and selecting sub-basins to review. A biophysical...

The purpose of this study is to quantitate and validate native fish harvests (food fishery harvests and excess salmon spawning requirement [ESSR] harvests) and releases in 1995. The reports analyze different methods of harvest used by indigenous communities...

This document provides a basis for the design phase of an environmental effects monitoring program (EEM) for Repap's pulp and paper mill, Skeena Cellulose Inc., located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The pre-design document is essentially a "State of...

This document presents the available salmonid resource information as well as the status of development activity and physiographic conditions within the Skeena River basin portion of the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) area. This...

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...

The Habitat Restoration and Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) was established in 1996/97 to complement the Pacific Salmon Revitalization Strategy. The main objective of the federally funded HRSEP is to revitalize salmonid populations in British Columbia...

These reports summarize the activities of the Gitksan and Watershed Authorities. They summarize and present the field data, including the tagging programme, and they offer discussion in regard to its interpretation. These reports consist of three main...

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...

This study aims to provide a preliminary assessment of the potential risks and pathways of impacts on salmon and salmon habitat arising from coalbed methane (CBM) development in the Klappan Coalbed Gas Tenure in northwest British Columbia, held by Shell...

The purpose of this catalogue is to bring under a single cover historical and recent information which describes salmon spawning grounds and annual escapements in the Skeena River drainage and immediately adjacent to it.

Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in...

The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

The chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) escapements to the Skeena River have declined from 1950 to 1973 (Figure 1). In 1973, restrictions on sport and commercial fisheries were implemented to aid in recovery of Skeena River chinook stocks....

During the last several years the Department of Fisheries of Canada has conducted "test-fishing" operations on the Nass, Skeena and Fraser rivers in order to obtain information on the magnitude and composition of the salmon spawning escapements. The...

The 1996 Lower Skeena River Chinook Salmon Creel Survey & Biological Sampling Program was carried out between the mouth of the Kitsumkalum River and PoIymar Bar from April 25 to July 8 with the use of both riverboat and vehicle. The program was...

This report describes the record of fisheries management strategies for statistical areas 4 and 5 in 1992.

The following report highlights the current status of salmon populations, summarizes the many projects and initiatives carried out under the sustainable fisheries program, outlines partnership initiatives, and describes the effects and benefits of the...

The Pacific Salmon Foundation's Salmon Explorer includes salmon status and trends by species and region as well as an interactive map of pressures on Skeena salmon habitat.

The Conservation Unit Snapshots ('CU Snapshot') are part of a 2013 project that summarizes key population and habitat information for Skeena salmon CUs. These Snapshots are intended to serve as a reference document to assist discussions about the state of...
