Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

The purpose of this project is to provide an update of Skeena steelhead population structure that is more consistent with both the federal methodology and the intent of the wild salmon policy. The paper is intended as scientific guidance, not provincial...

This memo provides estimates of Skeena sockeye sub-stock timing and abundance entering Area 3⁄4 estimated using genetic (mDNA) samples collected from the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery from 2000-2010. The genetic samples represent proportionate daily catch...

A large sampling program was undertaken in 2009 by the Skeena Fisheries Commission to improve the genetic baseline information on Skeena River Chinook.

This paper quantifies phenological diversity of out-migration timing among salmon populations within a large watershed and its implications for climate mismatches with marine zooplankton. Specifically, juvenile Sockeye Salmon were sampled throughout the...

This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock...

In 2010 we carried out the first watershed-wide radiotelemetry project for Chinook salmon in the Skeena River. Our objectives were to tag Chinook and trace them to their spawning sites, determine the effectiveness of the latest Skeena Chinook microsatellite...

This document has been written to meet the reporting requirements defined in the cost sharing agreement between the Pacific Salmon Commission and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and aims to provide stock identification data and aggregate escapement estimates...

Conservation scientists rarely have the information required to understand changes in abundance over more than a few decades, even for important species like Pacific salmon. Such lack of historical information can underestimate the magnitude of decline for...
