1985 salmon history and record of management strategies area 4
This record is the continuation of a pilot project undertaken in the Central Coast (Areas 6-7-8-9-10) during the 1983, 1984, and 1985 salmon seasons. It was designed as an in-season management tool and as a record of the fishery and of the management... -
Diel Vertical Movements and Feeding Habits of Underyearling Sockeye Salmon (O...
Sockeye underyearlings at Babine Lake. B.C. were observed to undergo diel vertical movement from July through to October 1967. This movement was more pronounced in August when the lake was most distinctly thermally stratified. The presence of a sharp... -
Orientation Differences Between Populations of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon
British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are... -
Water Quality and Accumulation of Periphyton (attached algae) in the Bulkley ...
In recent years, studies in the upper Bulkley River upstream of Houston have noted elevated levels of bacteria, nutrients and attached algae (periphyton). A 1992 fisheries study in the upper Bulkley at Houston found fish species composition was dominated by... -
Steelhead Trout Productivity and Stream Carrying Capacity for Rivers of the S...
The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more... -
Some Aspects of Food and Growth of Fish Species in Babine Lake
Food preferences and growth rates of various fish species in Babine Lake were analyzed. Kokanee fed primarily on plankton and insects, with no fish recorded in the diet. Insects were generally the most significant component of the diet of rainbow trout,... -

1999 North Coast Stream Inventory Project: Final Watersheds Report
This report describes the results of a 1999 field assessment of fish and fish habitat in selected watersheds in DFO Areas 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 by participants of the 1999 North Coast Stream Inventory Project (NCSIP), managed through the Community Fisheries... -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
Toward a Fish Habitat Decision on the Kemano Completion Project: A Discussion...
The Kemano Completion Project is massive. The Aluminum Company of Canada (Alcan) proposes a capital expenditure in excess of $2.2 billion which could increase aluminum production from its present level of 240,000 metric tonnes per year to 582,000 metric... -

Assessment of the Limnological status and Productive Capacity of Babine Lake
The objectives of this study are determining Babine Lake's current trophic status, plankton community structure, and biomass, and to estimate its current rearing capacity for juvenile sockeye. Furthermore, the study also checks for detectable limnological... -
2002 Babine Lake Tributary Juvenile Coho Assessment Program
This study aims to determine the extent of distribution of coho salmon usage and distribution in tributaries to Babine Lake, along with the ability of the tributaries to produce salmon.
