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 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...

DFO Area 4 Annual Narrative Reports from 1950 to 1972. Reports include comments on spawning summaries (coho, sockeye, pink and chinook), commercial fisheries, sport fisheries, Indian Food fisheries, water levels, herring, pollution (chemical spills),...

Department of Fisheries and Oceans Area 4 Annual Reports from 1918 - 1949. Reports include comments on spawning summaries (coho, sockeye, pink and chinook), commercial fisheries, sport fisheries, Indian Food fisheries, water levels, herring, pollution...

DFO Area 4 Annual Narrative Reports from 1973 to 1984. Reports include comments on spawning summaries (coho, sockeye, pink and chinook), commercial fisheries, sport fisheries, Indian Food fisheries, water levels, herring, pollution (chemical spills),...

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...

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...

A Monte Carlo simulation model of the commercial gillnet fishery for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) returning to the Skeena River, British Columbia, is used to evaluate the benefits of forecasts of annual returns of sockeye salmon based on test fishery...

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.

This report compiles and summarizes knowledge on the Skeena River Estuary, providing useful background information for those concerned with environmental impacts of these and other contemplated developments.

The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective...

This report summarizes age, size, and sex for the steelhead sampled at Tyee in four years (1973 - 1976) of test fishing. Comparisons are made with similar information on specific stocks in the Skeena, Kispiox, and Babine Rivers.

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...

FRB Technical Reports are research documents that are of sufficient importance to be preserved, but which for some reason are not appropriate for scientific publication.

The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),...

This report provides a chronological summary of a number of multi-faceted observer/monitoring programs that were conducted in the commercial approach fisheries to the Skeena River (primarily gillnet and seine fisheries in Areas 3 and 4) spanning the last...

This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size...

This report assess present water quality of the mainstem Bulkley and Morice Rivers, to predict future water quality, and to recommend water uses that should be protected, and to recommend provisional water quality objectives to protect those uses.

This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena...

This report presents the various methods employed for determining the escapements to each known spawning area, the spawning estimates made for the years 1944 to 1948, and maps of the sockeye distribution in the Skeena watershed.
