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...

This thesis presents evidence that traditional systems of salmon production were generally coincident with seasonal migrations of adult salmon returning from marine environments to fresh water spawning grounds. This characteristic movement of salmon biomass...

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

This report summarizes field data collected in 2014 for fish and fish habitat along the proposed application corridors within Nisga’a Lands. Fish and fish habitat information and field results for the remainder of the proposed project were collected in 2012...

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....

This thesis aims to determine if bull trout within a single large watershed show multiple life history forms, if their movement is influenced by environmental variables of temperature and discharge and if they show genetic population structure. It is...

This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be...

A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

The Morice River, located in West-central British Columbia, is one of several Skeena River tributaries that support a late summer and fall sport fishery for steelhead trout. In response to declining angler success on the Morice over the past decade, an...

This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

This Technical Data Report (TDR) presents information on existing conditions for marine fish and fish habitats within local and regional assessment areas. The purpose of the TDR is to support the Project’s Application for an Environmental Assessment...

This report discusses the trade-off fisheries managers are faced with that remains unresolved – how to reap the benefits from commercially valuable stocks while maintaining diversity essential for sustainability.

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...

The purpose of these studies is to undertake coho smolt enumeration at Km 1010 and 1011 in the Bulkley River, to compare mark-and-recapture population estimates, and to measure the extent and timing of fry and yearlong immigration into the two pond...

This report estimates the marine interception of Skeena River sockeye salmon stocks in Northern Boundary fisheries.

The purpose of this paper is to examine institutional learning in on particular circumstance, the construction, operation, and management of artificial spawning channels for sockeye salmon in B.C.

An overview of the evolutionary and ecological impacts of infectious diseases, shifting climates, and opportunistic predators in wild salmon and suggested ways in which modern technologies can elucidate the microparasites of greatest potential import.

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...
