Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
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. -
Preliminary Estimate of the Escapement of Summer Steelhead to the Nass River,...
Abundance estimates of the summer steelhead escapement to the Nass River was estimated with mark-recapture methods. The preliminary estimate was exploratory in nature and the primary objective of the marking and recovery of steelhead were marked with... -
Movements of Wild Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the ...
Radio telemetry was used for the second consecutive migration year to determine the proportion of wild, Babine River adult summer run steelhead migrating through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' enumeration weir, near the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake.... -

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... -
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... -
Progress Reports on Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Studies for Inclusion in the B...
This report summarizes work carried out in 1966 and 1967 to answer two questions related to evaluation of the Babine Lake sockeye development project. These questions are, (l) how do fry produced from an artificial spawning channel compare to those produced... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -
The Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Fulton River and Pi...
The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making fuller use of its potential as a nursery area (Dep. Fish 1965; McDonald 1969).... -
The Trapping and Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry at Fulton River, Babine Lake B.C.
A comparative study of the distribution, growth, and survival of sockeye salmon fry resulting from the same parental stocks, but reared in natural and artificial conditions began in 1966 (McDonald 1969). Fry produced from natural spawning in the Fulton... -
