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...

For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and...

Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership proposed to design, construct, and operate two pipelines extending from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia. Field surveys completed included sampling of fish species assemblages and habitat...

Map series depicting various marine values along the North Coast.

The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

This data report on beach seine samples from the Skeena estuary has information on salmon length/weight relationships, and stomach contents and, results for zooplankton and benthos samples representing the potential prey available for salmon at each beach...

This study examined the effects of release time on the migratory behaviour and survival of wild and hatchery-reared coho salmon using acoustic and coded-wire telemetry.

This report included Habitat Restoration Prescriptions for 12 sites on the Bulkley River, 2 sites on Foxy Creek, and 1 site on lower Maxan Creek.

This overview provides a brief description of basic features of the Bulkley River watershed. This plan represents phase one of a larger planning process and will evolve in response to priority setting and monitoring.

This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of...

The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage assessments conducted at Kispiox forestry road stream crossings. The Kispiox fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish...

This point location dataset of fish observations is a compilation of BC fish distribution information taken from a combination of all the official provincial databases including the BC Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS). Fish occurrences in this...

Provides general information on estuaries and their importance.

Land use activities have had a significant impact on many of the tributaries within the central Bulkley River watershed. Preliminary air photo analysis has indicated that high value fish habitat has been moderately to severely impacted in a large proportion...

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...

This report addresses Stage II of the Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Planning process by developing the biophysical profile of the Morice Watershed. Stage II produced a biophysical and sociopolitical profile of each of the priority watershed planning...

Lakelse Watershed backgrounder - This backgrounder has been updated for the use of the Lakelse Lake Sockeye Recovery Plan (LLSRP) planning table. It briefly presents at a watershed scale a biophysical profile, a description of the fisheries resource, and...
