Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The intent of this project was to survey fish communities,...

Gilmore Lake was surveyed as part of the Burns Lake-Houston small lakes project in which a total of 10 lakes were examined. All of the lakes historically supported rainbow trout sport fisheries, but the fishery has declined over the last five to ten years....

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver...

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

This survey observed many beaver dams and discusses the need for rehabilitation for Seymour Lake.

The report presents the results of a reconnaissance level “Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory” of West Julian Holland Lake 460-6006-508-005-283-218-502-01 performed to the current standards provided by the Resources Inventory Committee (RIC). West Julian...

This inventory provides information regarding the characteristics, distributions, and relative abundance of fish species, as well as information on biophysical lake and stream data. This information can be used for the interpretation of habitat sensitivity...

The NCD Habitat Unit, along with coho biologists from the Science Branch, conducted a juvenile coho sampling program on the Upper Bulkley/Morice River systems during the month of August from 1987 to 1990. This study furthers the understanding of coho...

This report summarizes background fisheries information available for the Morrison Watershed. It focuses on Morrison Creek, Morrison Lake, and its inlet tributaries, with the objective of providing an overview of the fisheries resources of the entire...

This Bulkley fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish passage limited by highways and secondary roads throughout the Skeena Basin. The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish...

These reports present the results of the 2012 and 2017 fish monitoring programs conducted in the vicinity of Equity Mine near Houston BC.

The purpose of this study was to collect data to determine how beaver dams might affect coho populations in tributaries of the Kispiox River, and to provide a review of the literature on the effects of beaver activity on salmonid populations.

Ten small lakes between Burns Lake and Houston, British Columbia (Bulkley River headwaters) were surveyed: Bulkley Lake, Watson Lake, Day Lake, Elwin Lake, Gilmore Lake, Sunset Lake, Swans Lake, Lars Lake, Old Man Lake, and one unnamed lake. The objectives...

The objective of the Freshwater Fish and Fish Habitat Program was to conduct field surveys of streams within and adjacent to the Project area (i.e., location of LNG plant infrastructure and ancillary facilities on Digby Island). This report presents the...
