Value of the Fisheries Resources in the Bulkley River System
The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing... -
Upper Sustut, Lower Sustut, and Bear River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data...
This report summarizes the stock status, and current data available on, the upper Sustut, lower Sustut, and Bear River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations. The upper Sustut and lower Sustut/Bear sub-populations differ markedly in their life-history... -
Telkwa Coal Project: Application for a Project Approval Certificate
The Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an... -
Surveys of Native Food Fisheries for Steelhead in the Skeena River System
Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales... -
Survey of Bulkley 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... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -
Results of the Kloiya River Resistivity Counter
The objective of this study was to quantify juvenile steelhead abundance and estimate values for habitat capacity thresholds. In 2005, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) began investigating the potential of using the Kloiya as an index stream for monitoring... -
