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...

This report outlines the unaddressed issues that remain after the mitigation proposal presented by Petronas for a suspension bridge over Flora Bank.

The goal of the project was to compile and share existing data that identify habitat of sockeye salmon in the Skeena watershed. This in turn supports implementation of the Wild Salmon Policy. Ecotrust Canada carried out this work for the Habitat...

WWF has completed the first Canada-wide assessment of the country’s watersheds, focusing on four indicators of river health and seven key threats. The resources below link to the WWF Watershed Reports at a national level and provide access to the detailed...

This paper is concerned with a detailed analysis of the data obtained during the 1948 oceanographic survey of Chatham Sound that was to determine whether there was any obvious characteristic of the water in the region which could be correlated with the...

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

The purpose of this project is to provide an update of Skeena steelhead population structure that is more consistent with both the federal methodology and the intent of the wild salmon policy. The paper is intended as scientific guidance, not provincial...

Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted hydroacoustic surveys at five sockeye rearing lakes in the Skeena Watershed. The main objectives of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species composition at...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

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...

A bibliography of existing coastal information describing habitat and biota.

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.

This dataset contains the 1937 mosaic of the Lakelse area and corresponding air photo scans belonging to Phase II of the collaborative WWF-UBC Skeena Historical Land Use Change and Ecological Function Project. This project entailed collecting air photos at...

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...

A survey using a towed video camera system was executed by Ocean Ecology for the World Wildlife Fund to see if the Flora Bank eelgrass bed extended any significant distance subtidally.

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...

This project estimates benchmarks and status' for all conservation units (CUs) in the Skeena watershed.
