This pre-impact habitat assessment was conducted on June 30, 1994 to identify and evaluate fish habitat along the proposed route associated with this project.

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...

An overwintering study was conducted over three winters (November 1998 to March 2001) in the Upper Bulkley and Toboggan Creek watersheds in north-central British Columbia. The study area includes the lower portion of the Upper Bulkley watershed upstream of...

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...

Samples were collected for the first time from a watercourse on the proposed project site on the north side of the Telkwa, and from sites on the Telkwa River and Goathorn Creek which were previously sampled in 1988. Samples were also collected from the...

This document provides a basis for the design phase of an environmental effects monitoring program (EEM) for Repap's pulp and paper mill, Skeena Cellulose Inc., located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The pre-design document is essentially a "State of...

This report provides the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks (BCE) with a review of cattle farming in the Skeena Region, and a recommendation for monitoring the impact of cattle and other livestock operations on community watersheds, including...

Historical water quality data presented for the Skeena River watershed are divided into nine subsequent sections, corresponding to the nine major watershed reaches. Each section is divided into 6 subsections: hydrology, land use history, water withdrawals,...

Forest Renewal BC is implementing fish and fish habitat inventories to provide information required for resource planning. Triton's goals were to describe fish distributions and habitat characteristics, and to provide stream classifications according to the...

This preliminary data report examines potential indicators of overwintering habitat quality and some potential factors which may affect the the overwintering habitat quality.

This study focused on the diffuse sources of nutrients and the trophic status of the Upper Bulkley River. Monthly water chemistry monitoring of the Upper Bulkley and tributaries was conducted between November 1997 and March 2000, and the end of growing...

Juvenile sampling and habitat assessment was conducted in the lower three kilometers of Toboggan Creek from September to November, 1998. The lower two kilometers of the stream is of lower habitat quality (higher gradient, greater velocity, little cover)...

The main objectives of this project were: to conduct a literature review of inventory activities previously conducted in the area; to conduct stream classification in accordance with guidelines in the Fish- stream Identification guidebook (FPC); to...

Juvenile coho, chinook, and rainbow trout/steelhead were sampled for the second and third consecutive years in Buck Creek using a rotary screw trap RST. The RST was sampled nightly to collect data on discharge, water temperature, and trap performance were...

The objective of the monitoring program is to assess possible impacts of the STP discharge on aquatic life in the upper Bulkley River, with particular reference to juvenile salmonids. Water quality assessment and biological monitoring of the Bulkley...

The overall purpose of this project was to conduct fisheries inventory in operational areas identified by Houston Forest Products in the Morrison Integrated Resource Management Unit (IRM). The objectives were to conduct a literature review of inventory...

This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"...
