Juvenile Salmonid Habitat Utilization in the Skeena River Estuary
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... -
Juvenile Salmon Usage of the Skeena River Estuary
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... -
Habitat Improvement and Outplanting Possibilities - Upper Bulkley/ Morice Sys...
The NCD Habitat Unit, along with coho biologists from the Science Branch, conducted a juvenile coho sampling program on the Upper Bulkley/Morice River systems during the month of August from 1987 to 1990. This study furthers the understanding of coho... -
Fine-Scaled Population Genetic Structure and Dispersal of Juvenile Steelhead ...
This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock... -
Estuarine and Ocean Survival of Northeastern Pacific Salmon
The proceedings of an estuarine and ocean survival of Northeastern Pacific salmon workshop. This paper provides the outline, along with presentations and papers from the workshop. -
Distribution, Timing, and Numbers of Steelhead Returning to the Skeena Waters...
This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply... -
Dahlie Creek Salmonid Overwintering and Water Quality Studies: Interim Report
This document contains a detailed fish habitat, riparian, and channel assessment of Dahlie Creek. Low channel complexity, removal of riparian vegetation, culvert obstructions to fish passage, sedimentation, altered flow regime, and channelization were some... -
Canada's Policy for Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon: Stream, Lake, and Es...
This report documents the methodology used by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to identify potential Strategy 2 habitat indicators, metrics, and benchmarks (as well as possible sampling protocols). The proposed list of indicators presented in... -
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... -
Babine Steelhead - A Future
The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,... -
Aurora LNG Freshwater Fish and Fish Habitat Final Report 2014-2015
The objective of the Freshwater Fish and Fish Habitat Program was to conduct field surveys of streams within and adjacent to the Project area (i.e., location of LNG plant infrastructure and ancillary facilities on Digby Island). This report presents the... -
An Attempt to Capture Migrating Sockeye at Morice Lake, June, 1956
This report describes the results of an attempt to capture migrating sockeye at Morice lake during a six day period between June 21-27, 1956. Only one sockeye was caught and classified tentatively as a yearling fish, the catches consisted for the most part... -
A Survey of Day Lake and its Inlet and Outlet Streams
Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver... -
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 the Limnology and Sockeye Salmon Ecology of Babine Lake
