In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals...

Nadina Community Futures (NCF) of Houston, BC, has implemented a program of water level monitoring in the Upper Bulkley River watershed to determine effects of resource development on the hydrologic regime in the watershed. To facilitate this monitoring,...

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...

This thesis aims to determine if bull trout within a single large watershed show multiple life history forms, if their movement is influenced by environmental variables of temperature and discharge and if they show genetic population structure. It is...

This dataset contains elements of the Morrison Copper/Gold mine application which are relevant to salmon in the Skeena watershed. The document itself and its appendices constitute Pacific Booker Minerals' application for a certificate under the British...

The purpose of these studies is to undertake coho smolt enumeration at Km 1010 and 1011 in the Bulkley River, to compare mark-and-recapture population estimates, and to measure the extent and timing of fry and yearlong immigration into the two pond...

This report documents the methodology used by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to identify potential Strategy 2 habitat indicators, metrics, and benchmarks (as well as possible sampling protocols). The proposed list of indicators presented in...

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...

This report outlines results from three years of RCA model development for the Skeena Region. It includes the development of standard methods for collecting and analyzing data for use in the RCA for bio monitoring in the Skeena region, results of...

In this project, a bioassessment tool known as the Reference Condition Approach (RCA) was developed for north-central British Columbia. In the RCA, benthic invertebrates and habitat descriptors from a large number of reference sites are used to build a...

The British Columbia Ministry of Environment regulates mine discharges to water through Environmental Management Act permits. These authorizations specify discharge standards for quality and quantity of contaminants, and specify what monitoring and...

This report summarizes the results of the stream assessments, which were completed between July 14 and October 22, 2008. All evaluated drainages are within the Babine Lake (BABL), Babine River (BABR), Bulkley River (BULK), Francois Lake (FRAN), Morice River...
