Fisheries Research Board of Canada: Manuscript Reports of the Biological Station
Since 1950, creel census studies have been conducted as a part of the program of sockeye salmon research at Lakelse. To gain a greater understanding of the cut-throat population and its relationship to the survival of young sockeye pertinent information was... -
The Return of Sockeye Salmon Marked at Babine and Lakelse Lakes
The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"... -

FRB Technical Reports are research documents that are of sufficient importance to be preserved, but which for some reason are not appropriate for scientific publication. -
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),... -
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... -
Review of Resident Game Fish Life History and Abundance Information for Babin...
Babine Lake is the largest unimpounded lake entirely within the province of British Columbia, and likely receives more annual angler days than any other lake in Skeena Region. It is also the most important sockeye salmon nursery lake in the Skeena... -
Manuscript Report Series No.390: Purse Seine Catches of Sockeye Salmon and Ot...
This report provides details of the catches of marked and unmarked sockeye and incidental catches of other species made in the course of the Babine Lake recovery program. -
A Polymorphic Population of Oncorhynchus Nerka at Babine Lake, B.C. Involving...
This thesis studies the reproductive behavior, life cycles, and physical differences between Kokanee and Sockeye salmon in the Babine Lake streams, along with the possible causes for these differences. -
The Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Fulton River and Pi...
The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making fuller use of its potential as a nursery area (Dep. Fish 1965; McDonald 1969).... -
The Incidence of Regenerated Scales Among Fraser River and Skeena River Socke...
Scales of 4 and 5 year-old Skeena River and 4 year-old Fraser River sockeye of the 1963 brood year were examined for the incidence of regenerated scales. For the Skeena and Fraser 4 year-old sockeye the incidence of regenerated scales was 11.1% and 8.2%,... -
Age and Size of Rainbow Trout at the Outlet of Babine Lake and in Babine River
Rainbow trout are the most important sport fish in terms of angling effort in the Babine Lake system. Griffiths (1968) has reported on the age and growth of rainbow trout in the main part of Babine Lake but little or no information exists for Babine River.... -
New growth on Scales of Seaward-Migrating Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka)...
The purpose of this report is to compare the incidence of circuli formed after the annulus (Fig. 1) (referred to here as "new growth") on the scales of early migrants with that on scales of the late migrants for the years 1958 to 1965. -
Evidence for Size-Selective Mortality of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchu...
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of body size at emergence on the subsequent survival of sockeye salmon fry in Babine Lake, British Columbia.
