Babine Lake Creel Survey at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in 1990
Total angler effort and rainbow trout catch at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in Babine Lake was estimated from May 1 to June 9, 1990 to document the catch of mature or spawner size fish. At Fulton, anglers fished for 313 days (average length = 2.39 h) and caught... -
A Comparison of Scale, Finray and Otolith Derived Ages in Dolly Varden Char a...
Twenty-four Dolly Varden char from the lower Skeena River and 28 cutthroat trout from Mosquito Lake on the Queen Charlotte Islands were aged independently using finrays, otoliths and scales. Implications of these discrepancies to the management of Dolly... -
Sustut River Steelhead Investigations, 1986
The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),... -
Review of the Escapement of Adult Steelhead to the Upper Sustut River
This report reveals the enumeration of the upper Sustut River steelhead population, which has provided fisheries managers with yearly population index values and time series data to help determine the relative abundance and population trends of early run... -
Preliminary Estimate of the Escapement of Summer Steelhead to the Nass River,...
Abundance estimates of the summer steelhead escapement to the Nass River was estimated with mark-recapture methods. The preliminary estimate was exploratory in nature and the primary objective of the marking and recovery of steelhead were marked with... -
Observations on Cutthroat Trout of the Lakelse River System, 1986, and Implic...
Cutthroat trout contribute substantially to the Lakelse Lake-River sport fishery. This tagging study of cutthroat trout was undertaken during the May-November period of 1986 on the upper Lakelse River to improve the information base on which this expanding... -
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... -
An Overview of the Algorithms and Parameters used in the Skeena Steelhead Car...
The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the model and identify the sources of the parameters used in the model. The overview will assist fisheries biologists in making the Nass habitat capability model more characteristic of... -
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... -
A Habitat-Based Model of Steelhead Carrying Capacity for the Skeena River
This paper represents a habitat modelling process which estimates the carrying capacity through developing physical and biological processes which interact in ways governed by general biological or biophysical laws. These interactions lead to a calculated...
