Sheffield studies and office-based reviews for this Bell-Irving Route Study Report were completed in August 2010. This report presents the results of baseline information collected as well as an evaluation of potential project effects on VECs along the...

Presentation on the juvenile salmon monitoring program 2014 field season update.

This paper outlines stock status for wild Skeena River sockeye salmon based on updated assessments of freshwater production in nursery lakes, available catch and escapement data, and modelled exploitation rates.

Pacific Brooker Minerals is proposing to develop the Morrison Copper/Gold Project on the east side of Morrison Lake, north of Babine Lake. The project will require the construction of a Tailings Storage Facility, including tailings and seepage control dams,...

This Assessment Report considers the proposed Morrison Copper/Gold Mine Project’s potential to cause significant adverse environmental, economic, social, heritage, and health effects. It identifies measures to prevent or reduce adverse effects, and sets out...

The purpose of this report is to present the known history of sockeye production data, the biological and management information available, enhancement requirements, and potential techniques for the restoration of Morice-Nanika sockeye.

The purpose of this project is to document alterations and impacts to Wet’suwet’en land and resources, particularly in regard to anadromous and freshwater resident fish and their habitats in Morice watershed. Alterations and impacts resulting from...

A broomstick fence was constructed and installed in early September 1998. Coho capture and counting occurred from early September to November 1, 1998. The purpose of the counting fence system was to enumerate coho adults returning to Mission Creek and to...

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.

This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors...

Buckley Lake was sampled September 8-10, 2003 by Skeena Region Fisheries staff in an effort to address: 1) rainbow trout history characteristics; and 2) provide advice to Skeena Region Protected Areas staff on the sensitivity of the population to angler...

This report summarizes a habitat improvement project which was funded by the Pacific Salmon Commission and is intended to be a record of the project to provide a better understanding of the limiting factors affecting sockeye in the Hatchery Creek system,...

The purpose of this Assessment Report is to: describe the Project; summarize the process for the review of the Application; report on the adequacy of the Proponent’s distribution of information during the Application Review; report on whether the...

During the months of September, October, and November of 1975, a creel survey and catch sampling program was conducted on the Kispiox River to gather information on the steelhead fishery including angler origin, effort, methods used, and success. Scale...

Steelhead studies were conducted in the upper Sustut River. The objectives of the studies were to determine the time of arrival, abundance, and migration behaviour of steelhead and to assess the upper Sustut River's suitability as an index stream for upper...

Surveys of juvenile steelhead fry and parr abundance were conducted on four steelhead systems tributary to the Skeena River in northwestern B.C. for three consecutive years. The four systems assessed were the Kitwanga, Morice, Sustut and Zymoetz (Copper)...

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...

This project was developed to compliment the previous studies done on the intertidal foreshores in Prince Rupert and Port Edward harbours. The effort to date indicates that four of the five salmonid species are fairly uniform in distribution throughout the...

Juvenile sampling and habitat assessment was conducted in the lower three kilometers of Toboggan Creek from September to November, 1998. The lower two kilometers of the stream is of lower habitat quality (higher gradient, greater velocity, little cover)...
