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... -
Skeena River Steelhead Stock- Assessment Program: 1994 Catch and Escapement M...
During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were... -
Skeena River Steelhead Stock Assessment Program: Estimation of the 1994 Comme...
The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in... -
Trends in Abundance and Pre-Season 2000 Stock Size Forecasts for Major Sockey...
Trends in abundance and pre-season 2000 stock size forecasts for major sockeye, pink, and chum salmon stocks in the central coast and selected salmon stocks in Northern British Columbia, statistical areas 1-10. The recommended forecasts are based on simple... -
The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -

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... -
