Bulkley River Chinook Broods
The following are summaries of chinook assessment carried out during 1999 and 2000 broodstock collection activities on the Upper Bulkley River. -
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... -
Stock Identification of Skeena River Summer Steelhead using Microsatallite DN...
The objective of this study was to estimate stock composition of steelhead trout caught in test fisheries in the lower portion of the Skeena River drainage near Tyee and to assess the reliability of the estimates. -
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... -
Skeena Sockeye In-River Run Reconstruction Analysis Model and Analysis Result...
This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena... -
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... -
Northern Boundary Area Sockeye Salmon Genetic Stock Identification District 1...
Accurate estimates of the stock composition of sockeye salmon caught in boundary area gillnet and purse seine fisheries (few are caught in troll fisheries) are required to estimate the total return (catch plus escapement) of stocks subject to harvest... -
Mission Creek Adult Coho Enumeration and Transport Program: 1998 Program Report
A broomstick fence was constructed and installed in early September 1998. Coho capture and counting occurred from early September to November 1, 1998. The purpose of the counting fence system was to enumerate coho adults returning to Mission Creek and to... -
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... -
Methods for Assessing Status and Trends in Pacific Salmon Conservation Units ...
This technical report provides a detailed overview of our approach and analytical methodologies as a reference document for the Pacific Salmon Explorer, a living online tool where up to date status assessments and data are accessible. In the following... -
Juvenile Salmon Usage of the Skeena River Estuary
This paper examines the geographic and temporal habitat utilization of juvenile anadromous salmon in the greater Skeena estuary in relation to the footprints of the proposed industrial development projects. These data can help illuminate the current status... -
Genetic Analyses of Chinook Salmon caught in the Skeena River Sport Fishery 2010
The primary objective was to identify the stock components that make up the Chinook caught by the recreational fishery in the Skeena River below Terrace. Stock specific catch estimates were produced using the combination of preliminary 2010 Skeena River... -
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... -
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... -
1999 Lower Skeena River Sport Catch Monitoring Programs
The objectives of this study were to monitor the encounter rates of all species landed by angles in each fishery, report and assess the gear used in the fisheries, and assess the release condition of all salmon, with an emphasis on coho. -
DNA-Level Variation of Sockeye Salmon in Southeast Alaska and the Nass and Sk...
The objectives of the present study were to analyze the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and 1 MHC locus in Nass River, Skeena River, and Southeast Alaska sockeye salmon populations so as to evaluate the suite of loci for application to stock...
