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...

In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion...

DFO Area 4 Annual Narrative Reports from 1973 to 1984. Reports include comments on spawning summaries (coho, sockeye, pink and chinook), commercial fisheries, sport fisheries, Indian Food fisheries, water levels, herring, pollution (chemical spills),...

A compilation of various studies and emails between the researchers and the Ministry of Environment in regards to Lakelse Lake and River assessment through the years of 1969-2001.

The chemical, biological and physical characteristics of Lakelse Lake, B.C., were investigated during 1974-1975. This report also summarizes relevant fisheries - limnological information published on this watershed. The survey was initiated to help resolve...

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...

This report profiles the current status and trends of 10 examples of salmon stocks in British Columbia that are considered to be in a severe state of decline. (There are many others.) These stocks were selected because they are geographically located within...

Assessment of Changes in Total Phosphorus in Lakelse Lake, BC in 2002. Sediment cores were retrieved from the North and South basins from Lakelse Lake and shipped to Queen's University to see whether the increase in organic matter, without increased...

A comprehensive water quality limnology study in Lakelse Lake was completed by the Pollution Control Branch in 1973 - 74. The expressed purpose of this study, as developed by the North Region Pollution Control Branch in conjunction with Projects and...

For the past 15 years, Lakelse Lake has supported an active sport fishery for cut-throat trout. Since 1950 the Fisheries Research Board of Canada has kept records of this fishery in connection with its investigations on the ecology of the sockeye salmon of...

This paper reports on a series of surveys conducted during the summer of 1973 to determine the economic and social value of Lakelse Lake to residents of British Columbia. The study contains information on the lake's commercial and recreational activities...

The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"...

This report was requested by the regional staff as part of a complete study on Lakelse Lake. There was a need to know the value of aquatic plants, for fish habitat, and their relative value in the nutrient cycle of Lakelse Lake.

For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and...

This report presents the various methods employed for determining the escapements to each known spawning area, the spawning estimates made for the years 1944 to 1948, and maps of the sockeye distribution in the Skeena watershed.

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 shows the result of the process of reviewing available information, evaluating options, and identifying activities for recovering Lakelse Lake sockeye by the concerned local stakeholders, First Nations, and provincial and federal government in...

This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in Lakelse Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This includes aquatic vegetation, terrain features, food species, natural spawning and...

A letter from W.E. Chudyk to the Ministry of Environment regarding the project outline for Lakelse Lake cutthroat trout enhancement opportunities. This project is geared to provide basic information on production capabilities for cutthroat trout in stream...

This study evaluates the population structure of Sockeye Salmon in the Skeena River by surveying variations at 14 microsatellites, and also assessed the utility of the microsatellites for identification of the timing of return of Sockeye Salmon populations...
