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... -
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 Survey of Morice River Steelhead Anglers in 2004
Morice River steelhead anglers were surveyed during the 2004 Classified Waters Period using a combination of interviews and aerial counts. During the early Classified Waters Period, fishing was restricted to fly fishing only above Lamprey Creek, and the... -
A Survey of Kispiox River Steelhead Anglers in 2001
The Kispiox River in the Skeena Region of northwestern British Columbia (B.C.) is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a Classified Waters system to protect... -
Incidental Tag Returns from a 1970 Steelhead Tagging Program on the Babine Ri...
An additional report regarding the tag-recapture program instituted in cooperation with fishing lodges on the Babine River, aiming to provide some ancillary biological information. -
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...
