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...

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...

Explain some key concepts needed to determine WSP benchmarks and how these are extended to development of a multi-stock fishing plan, with input from community/industry advisors.

Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

This report profiles the current status and trends of 10 examples of salmon stocks in British Columbia that are considered to be in a severe state of decline. (There are many others.) These stocks were selected because they are geographically located within...

Alaskan fisheries in Southeast Alaska (SEAK) intercept salmon returning to British Columbia (BC) rivers. Given the current depressed status of many BC wild salmon populations, and in the context of changing marine and freshwater environments due to climate...

Adult and juvenile coho migrations were monitored at Zolzap Creek, British Columbia, as part of the 2002-2003 Nisga'a Fisheries Program. The 2002 season is the eleventh year of continuous operation of the Zolzap Creek fences since 1992. This report includes...

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further...

In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a...

Annual reports for Upper Bulkley River assessments at the Bulkley River Coho Assessment Fence approximately 6km upstream from the Upper Bulkley Morice confluence. Information collected includes fish species, number of individuals, and composition of wild...

These reports present the information found during the Toboggan Creek Watershed Restoration Project. This project assessed the historical background of the watershed, including a review of fish, fish habitat, impacts, and water quality. Furthermore, the...

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.

The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison...

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.

The Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an...

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...

The Upper Bulkley River coho are an extreme conservation concern. The objective for Upper Bulkley coho was to release up to 80K fry to rearing areas in the watershed that are currently under-utilized. Coho released as fry would be subjected to natural...
