Chemical, Biological and Physical Characteristics of Lakelse Lake
The chemical, biological and physical characteristics of Lakelse Lake, B.C., were investigated during 1974-1975. This report also summarizes relevant fisheries - limnological information published on this watershed. The survey was initiated to help resolve... -
Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
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... -
2007 DNA Collection Report
In 2003 the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) initiated a project to collect genetic (tissue) samples for DNA analysis from chum and pink salmon in selected streams throughout the Gitxsan territories. Chum DNA collection continued in 2004 where the... -
Skeena Sockeye Sub-Stock Run-Timing and Abundance Evaluated Using Tyee Fisher...
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... -
Scale Characteristics of Sockeye Salmon Originating from Small Nursery Areas ...
The objective of this study has been to assemble the data available concerning the scale characteristics of sockeye salmon spawning in a series of isolated locations within the Skeena River system (1945-1966), with a view to their possible use in describing... -
Population Structure of Lake-Type and River-Type Sockeye Salmon in Transbound...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different... -
Phenological Diversity of Salmon Smolt Migration Timing within a Large Watershed
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... -
North Coast Juvenile Salmonid Monitoring Program
Presentation on the juvenile salmon monitoring program 2014 field season update. -
Movement patterns, timing of migration and genetic population structure of bu...
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... -
Microsatellite Diversity Assessment of Steelhead Population Structure Before ...
Allelic variation at 10 microsatellite loci was assayed in steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) scale samples (n=333) collected in various years 1976-2003, from the lower mainstem Kitimat River, British Columbia. The objective was to investigate the... -
Microgeographic genetic diversity of wild steelhead trout in a conservation h...
Allelic variation at 10 microsatellite loci was assayed in potentially wild steelhead trout collected from 11 tributaries and three upper main stem river sites, and compared to steelhead trout from the hatchery operated in the lower main stem river. The... -
Managing Biodiversity in Pacific Salmon: the Evolution of the Skeena River So...
This report discusses the trade-off fisheries managers are faced with that remains unresolved – how to reap the benefits from commercially valuable stocks while maintaining diversity essential for sustainability. -
Lakelse Lake Draft Management Plan
The lake management planning process devises methods “to preserve and protect the quality and health of the Lakelse watershed”. This management plan marks the end of the first iteration of the process, and is intended to provide long- term direction to the... -
Fine-Scaled Population Genetic Structure and Dispersal of Juvenile Steelhead ...
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... -
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salm...
In the current study, we evaluate the utility of using the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one MHC locus for lake-specific identification of sockeye salmon over its natural range. This evaluation is conducted by examining the accuracy and precision... -

Bioassessment of Streams in North Central British Columbia Using the Referenc...
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... -
Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Compositio...
Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river... -
A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon
This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes.... -
Retrospective Chinook Salmon Escapement Estimation to Skeena River Using Gene...
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...
