The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

This data report on beach seine samples from the Skeena estuary has information on salmon length/weight relationships, and stomach contents and, results for zooplankton and benthos samples representing the potential prey available for salmon at each beach...

Aquatic studies were conducted in the vicinity of the Telkwa Coal Project during 1997. These studies included updating baseline information describing the periphyton and benthic communities in Goathorn and Tenas creeks (Section 1), as well as studies of...

This report compiles and summarizes knowledge on the Skeena River Estuary, providing useful background information for those concerned with environmental impacts of these and other contemplated developments.

The focus of this study examines the diet of young salmon in Chatham Sound and adjacent waters.

For the past ten years the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) have been collecting information on adult and juvenile sockeye and coho in Slamgeesh Lake in the northern part of the Skeena watershed.

This report builds on two earlier reports: The Evolution of Commercial Salmon Fishing in BC (Nelson and Turris 2004), and The Evolution of the Recreational Fishery in BC (Kristianson and Strongitharm 2006). This report specifically addresses the issue of...

The Panel’s report is divided into five major topic areas: (1) the fish and the fisheries, (2) habitat status and protection, (3) critical monitoring needs for future management, (4) governance, and (5) recommendations.

This report provides results from Step 3, Identifying Metrics and Benchmarks for habitat indicators being considered by DFO for Strategy 2 of the Wild Salmon Policy.

This is the second in a series of three reports by the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council (PFRCC) describing the Pacific salmon resource in British Columbia and Yukon, its current state, and the ability to assess and understand this important...

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.

The second in a series presenting general information on the lakes of the Skeena river drainage particularly in so far as it affects salmon production.

This report examines the salmon habitat utilization of five species of Pacific salmon in the greater Skeena River estuary. In particular, interest is given in salmon habitat utilization in light of several large-scale industrial development projects pending...

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...

The proceedings of an estuarine and ocean survival of Northeastern Pacific salmon workshop. This paper provides the outline, along with presentations and papers from the workshop.

This survey acquires the ecological information on plant community types occurring in estuaries on the north coast and creates a site classification. It also surveys and describes a range of estuaries on the north coast, summarizing basic biological and...

The purpose of this catalogue is to bring under a single cover historical and recent information which describes salmon spawning grounds and annual escapements in the Skeena River drainage and immediately adjacent to it.
