Morice Forest District Fisheries Data and Information Compilation Project
The purpose of this project was to compile existing fisheries information relating to fish species under provincial jurisdiction and, where appropriate, add the information to the FISS database. Additionally, as part of the project, an overview of fisheries... -
Migration Timing and Harvest Rates of the Steelhead Trout Populations of the ...
Migration timing and harvest rates of steelhead trout were examined in relation to the harvest of sockeye salmon in the mixed-stock fishery of the Skeena River. Summer-run steelhead overlap in their migration timing with sockeye salmon to a significant... -
Mean Smolt Age Estimation and Under-Aging Bias of Nass River Steelhead Popula...
In the Nass River watershed, juvenile and adult steelhead scales were collected to summarize the mean smolt ages for major summer and winter steelhead populations, and to investigate the lack of the first-year annulus formation which results in under-aging... -
Life History, Stock Assessment, and Recommendation for a Sustainable Recreati...
Buckley Lake was sampled September 8-10, 2003 by Skeena Region Fisheries staff in an effort to address: 1) rainbow trout history characteristics; and 2) provide advice to Skeena Region Protected Areas staff on the sensitivity of the population to angler... -
Kitwanga Sockeye Salmon Recovery Plan (KSRP)
The Kitwanga sockeye stock is currently at a depressed level and at risk of collapse. The collapse of Kitwanga sockeye could lead to extinction, which should be considered irreversible. The reasons for the stock decline are not completely understood,... -
Distribution, Timing, and Numbers of Steelhead Returning to the Skeena Waters...
This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply... -
Comparison of the Fecundity of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Ske...
Skeena River sockeye salmon are caught by the fishery mainly with gillnets. It is generally recognized that gillnets are selective for size. Foskett (1958) compared the size of sockeye sampled from the Rivers Inlet catch with the size of those sampled from... -

Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Assessment Update for Morice-Nanika Sockeye 2001/2002
The Morice-Nanika sockeye stock has been assessed by the DFO since the late 1940's. Over the past two years both DFO and Wet'suwet'en Fisheries have been addressing Morice-Nanika stock status with respect to productive potential and exploitation rate trends... -
Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
A Review of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Chinook
Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in... -
2001 Upper Kispiox Sockeye Stock Assessment
This project focused on the enumeration of sockeye stocks within the Swan and Stephens Lake Watershed and the suitability of the methods used to carry out this task. To successfully achieve the objectives of this project the GWA constructed an adult fish... -
Review of Escapement Indicator Streams for the North and Central Coast Salmon...
The decline in escapement monitoring effort and the importance of these data for annual assessment of stock status prompted this review of the escapement indicator streams and the discussions regarding survey priorities, methods, and costs with the groups... -
Skeena Salmon Management Committee Annual Reports
The Skeena Salmon Management Committee was established by the Minister of Fisheries in 1954 to investigate the condition of Skeena River salmon stocks, to improve management of the runs, and to increase the yield, if possible. To achieve its objectives the... -
Midwater Trawling for Sockeye Salmon Underyearlings (Oncorhynchus nerka) at B...
This report describes the method and results of midwater trawling for underyearling sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Babine Lake, British Columbia, in 1967. The work was part of a joint Fisheries Research Board - Fisheries Service program to assess a... -
Progress Reports on Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Studies for Inclusion in the B...
This report summarizes work carried out in 1966 and 1967 to answer two questions related to evaluation of the Babine Lake sockeye development project. These questions are, (l) how do fry produced from an artificial spawning channel compare to those produced... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other...
