Bulkley River Watershed Overwintering Study Reports
This dataset contains all of the overwintering studies in the Bulkley River watershed. This over-wintering monitoring was conducted to provide background data to assist Habitat Management staff and Resource Restoration staff in liaising with various... -
Buck Creek Juvenile Salmon Trapping Programs
Juvenile coho, chinook, and rainbow trout/steelhead were sampled for the second and third consecutive years in Buck Creek using a rotary screw trap RST. The RST was sampled nightly to collect data on discharge, water temperature, and trap performance were... -
Biophysical Reconnaissance of the Morice River System, 1978-1980
A bio-manageability study of chinook and coho salmon was carried out on the Morice River near Houston, B.C. from the fall of 1978 to mid-1980. The objective of the program was to code wire tag at least 50,000 chinook fry from the 1978 and 1979 broods and as... -
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... -
Area 4 Chum Escapement Survey Plan
This project was an evaluation of the Skeena chum escapement survey plan against the requirement to provide representative indices of spawner abundance. -
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.... -

1999 Buck Creek Juvenile Salmonid Trapping Program
In the spring of 1999, the Community Futures Development Corporation of Nadina (CFDCN) was contracted by Barry Finnegan, Northern Coho Stock Assessment Biologist of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to operate a Rotary Screw Trap (RST) on Buck Creek in the Upper... -
An Attempt to Determine Abundance and Distribution of Migrating Skeena River ...
Echo surveying is one of the newer techniques for estimating the abundance and distributional patterns of fish stocks and its potential seems promising as it is a convenient, economical and effective way of collecting information on underwater objects.... -
The Migration Times of the Skeena River Sockeye Runs Through the Estuary as I...
During the years from 1944 to 1948, inclusive, and during 1955, sockeye salmon were tagged in the estuary of the Skeena River partly to determine whether there is any segregation of populations destined to the various tributary lakes in point of time of... -
A Re-Assessment of Moricetown Falls as an obstruction to Salmon Migration
This report which represents a general summary of the known information on the salmon stocks of the Bulkley River system, has been prepared in order to: (a) describe the effect of the Moricetown Falls native food fishery on the salmon and steelhead trout... -

This report presents the data collected during the downstream trapping and beach seining programs at Babine Lake during the years 1983, 1984 and 1985. -
Assessment of Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks in the Northern Boundary Area Us...
A multi-time-period method of stock reconstruction was used to estimate harvest and stock interception rates by area and time period, exploitation rates and total run size by stock. The data required for these reconstructions were catch by time and area,... -
1980 Morice River Coded Wire Tagging (CWT) Program
As a precursor to a proposed hatchery facility, bio-baseline and manageability studies were initiated in the spring of 1979 and continued in the spring of 1980. The purpose of the downstream portion of the 1980 study was four-fold: 1) to capture, rear and... -
