Telkwa Coal Project Appendix 12: Aquatic Resource Assessment 1985
Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa... -
Survey of Bulkley Lake and its Inlet and Outlet Streams
Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver... -
Stream Inventory: Fenton Creek and Adjacent Tributaries 1997
This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention.... -
Strategic Stock Enhancement Program Report Upper Skeena: 1998/1999/2000
The Upper Bulkley River coho are an extreme conservation concern. The objective for Upper Bulkley coho was to release up to 80K fry to rearing areas in the watershed that are currently under-utilized. Coho released as fry would be subjected to natural... -
Spawning Stock Size and Resultant Production for Skeena Sockeye
This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size... -
Some Notes on the Habits and Habitat of Steelhead Trout in the Kispiox River ...
During the spring and summer of 1976, two investigations funded through the salmonid enhancement program were conducted on the steelhead trout of the Kispiox River. The first project, commencing in April and ending in August, was designed to document the... -
Slamgeesh Lake Smolt Sampling Project
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. -
Skeena Sockeye Lakes Hydroacoustic Surveys
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... -
Skeena River Estuary Synthesis Report
The research outlined in this report answers questions relating to the estuarine environment and ecology of the Skeena River estuary, with a focus on juvenile salmon. Additionally, it includes information on the estuarine fish community, crab ecology, and... -
Skeena River Chinook Baseline Sampling
A large sampling program was undertaken in 2009 by the Skeena Fisheries Commission to improve the genetic baseline information on Skeena River Chinook. -
Skeena & Nass Sockeye Lakes Hydroacoustic Surveys
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SKF) has conducted mobile hydroacoustic surveys in small lakes throughout the Skeena Watershed since 2005. The main objective of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species... -

This document presents the available salmonid resource information as well as the status of development activity and physiographic conditions within the Skeena River basin portion of the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) area. This... -
Salmon Science as Related to Proposed Development in the Skeena River Estuary
A collaborative research team of academic and First Nation scientists has been studying the Skeena River estuary ecosystem and its juvenile salmon. After 4 years, 100 boat days, 500 net hauls, and nearly 200,000 fish sampled, this program represents the... -
Results of the Kloiya River Resistivity Counter
The objective of this study was to quantify juvenile steelhead abundance and estimate values for habitat capacity thresholds. In 2005, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) began investigating the potential of using the Kloiya as an index stream for monitoring... -
