Biophysical Reconnaissance of the Morice River System, 1978-1980
A bio-manageability study of chinook and coho salmon was carried out on the Morice River near Houston, B.C. from the fall of 1978 to mid-1980. The objective of the program was to code wire tag at least 50,000 chinook fry from the 1978 and 1979 broods and as... -
Babine Steelhead - A Future
The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,... -
Assessment Update for Morice-Nanika Sockeye 2001/2002
The Morice-Nanika sockeye stock has been assessed by the DFO since the late 1940's. Over the past two years both DFO and Wet'suwet'en Fisheries have been addressing Morice-Nanika stock status with respect to productive potential and exploitation rate trends... -

This report reviews management actions and documents how management decisions for commercial fisheries in Areas 3, 4, and 5 were made, what information was used, how it was interpreted and what the results were in terms of catch and escapement. -
A Life History Model for Assessing Alternative Management Policies for Depres...
Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment... -

This report describes the method and results of midwater trawling for underyearling sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Babine Lake, British Columbia, in 1967. The work was part of a joint Fisheries Research Board - Fisheries Service program to assess a... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -
Fisheries-related Collaboration in the Skeena River Watershed: Impacts and Im...
Conflict has surrounded Skeena fisheries management on British Columbia’s north coast for decades however limited Skeena-specific collaborative fisheries management research has been conducted. The objectives of this research were to identify, from... -
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... -
Chinook Salmon in the North Coastal Division
Concern over the status of chinook salmon on the Pacific Coast, and particularly in the north (Fig. 1), has become more prevalent in recent years due to an apparent decline in stock size. This concern emphasizes the need for better conservation, improved... -
The Migration Times of the Skeena River Sockeye Runs Through the Estuary as I...
During the years from 1944 to 1948, inclusive, and during 1955, sockeye salmon were tagged in the estuary of the Skeena River partly to determine whether there is any segregation of populations destined to the various tributary lakes in point of time of... -
