Value of the Fisheries Resources in the Bulkley River System
The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing... -
Value of Information in Pacific Salmon Fishery Management: the Skeena River T...
A Monte Carlo simulation model of the commercial gillnet fishery for sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) returning to the Skeena River, British Columbia, is used to evaluate the benefits of forecasts of annual returns of sockeye salmon based on test fishery... -
The Commercial Harvest of Salmon in British Columbia 1820-1877
This report reviews archival data on the earliest harvest of Pacific salmon in British Columbia by Europeans, first considering subsistence and export production by the Hudson's Bay Company and then the export production by the private entrepreneurs during... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
Skeena Sockeye In-River Run Reconstruction Analysis Model and Analysis Result...
This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena... -
Precision and Bias of the British Columbia Steelhead Harvest Analysis
The BC Steelhead Harvest Analysis (SHA) is a province-wide mail survey of steelhead anglers which has been conducted annually since 1967, to obtain estimates of effort and catch stratified by stream and residency. This study reports the compilation and... -
