The Habitat Restoration and Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) was established in 1996/97 to complement the Pacific Salmon Revitalization Strategy. The main objective of the federally funded HRSEP is to revitalize salmonid populations in British Columbia... -
Fisheries Assessment of Proposed Rip Rap Sites from Km17 to Km25 Morice River...
Slope failures along this section have led to a number of proposed remedial works, including rip rap placement at sites identified by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MOELP) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) staff as sensitive to... -
Evaluation of a Mark-Recapture Procedure to Assess the Catchability Rate of ...
Evaluation of the efforts made to design a mark-recapture program that could potentially meet several objective in a cost-effective fashion. -
Enumeration of Adult Steelhead in the Upper Sustut River
Th objectives of the enumeration program were to index the Upper Sustut river steelhead population, examine the sex, number, growth, and size distribution of previously tagged steelhead, examine the effect of water height and temperature on steelhead... -
Effects of Beaver on Juvenile Coho Salmon Habitat in Kispiox River Tributaries
The purpose of this study was to collect data to determine how beaver dams might affect coho populations in tributaries of the Kispiox River, and to provide a review of the literature on the effects of beaver activity on salmonid populations. -
Copper Creek (Q.C.I.) Steelhead Trout: A Report on the Effect of Non Random R...
The prime purpose for this study was to determine if the number of steelhead kelts caught in a tidal gill net sockeye salmon fishery could be reduced. Subsequently, the objectives were expanded to generate information on steelhead population size, patterns... -
Bulkley/Morice Steelhead Assessment, 2000: A Petersen Capture-Recapture Estim...
This steelhead tagging program, combined with a recapture phase, allows an estimate of the number of steelhead in the Bulkley system upstream of Moricetown Canyon. In Autumn 2000~ the program was again conducted, with tags applied in three different... -
Bulkley/Morice Steelhead Assessment Project 1998/99
This report details the findings of the cancelled sampling project. The project's aim was to collect and collate data on steelhead in the Bulkley/Morice study area and to determine the ratio of tagged to untagged steelhead in the river. -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon Populations of Babine Lake
This study aims to find evidence of changes in the abundance of sockeye relative to spawning numbers, and evidence of the dispersal and subsequent distribution of juveniles in the lake to determine the extent to which the available lake nursery area is... -
An Estimate of the Number of Steelhead Trout Spawning in Basins River Near Ba...
The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C. -
Abundance and Life History Characteristics of Adult Cranberry River Steelhead...
The abundance of adult Cranberry River steelhead was estimated with mark-recapture sampling in 26 of the 30 river kilometres of the identified main overwintering habitat. Steelhead were marked with numbered Floy anchor tags and adipose fin clips which... -
A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon
This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes.... -
A Review of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Chinook
Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in... -
A Petersen Mark-Recapture Estimate of the Steelhead Population of the Bulkley...
The Bulkley/Morice river systems are important steelhead systems of the Skeena River watershed for which steelhead abundance has historically been estimated by indirect methods. In 1999-2000, a Petersen mark-recapture program was conducted to provide the... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -
2001 Upper Kispiox Sockeye Stock Assessment
