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... -
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. -
Skeena-Nass Area Water Quality Assessment and Objectives: Technical Appendix
This report assess present water quality of the mainstem Bulkley and Morice Rivers, to predict future water quality, and to recommend water uses that should be protected, and to recommend provisional water quality objectives to protect those uses. -
Skeena Salmon: Lake Sockeye Conservation Unit Snapshot: Maxan
This habitat report card was developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitats used by Skeena sockeye for migration, spawning, and rearing, as well as their relative... -
Skeena River Chinook Baseline Sampling
A large sampling program was undertaken in 2009 by the Skeena Fisheries Commission to improve the genetic baseline information on Skeena River Chinook. -
Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspection (FPCI) Surveys
In 2005, the Skeena Fisheries Commission was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged stream crossings distinguished with fish presence along Highway #16 between Terrace and Prince... -
Skeena Environmental Effects Monitoring (EEM) Pre-Design Reference Document
This document provides a basis for the design phase of an environmental effects monitoring program (EEM) for Repap's pulp and paper mill, Skeena Cellulose Inc., located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The pre-design document is essentially a "State of... -
Review of the Hydrology, Geomorphology, Ecology & Management of the Skeena Ri...
Review of the hydrology, geomorphology, ecology and management of the Skeena River floodplain. This review of the natural and human history of the floodplain of the lower Skeena River was initiated to provide background information to support future... -
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... -
Rates of Movement and Timing of Migrations of Steelhead Trout To and Within t...
Summer-run steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returning to the Skeena River system were radio-tagged to determine their rates of movement through commercial salmon fisheries near the river mouth. The run timing of individual spawning population was also... -
Radio Telemetry Studies of Summer Run Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River Dra...
Radio tagging studies were carried out in the Skeena drainage in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. During the fall of 1978, 24 steelhead were radio tagged on the Morice River, 15 on the Kispiox River, 14 on the... -
Population Structure of Lake-Type and River-Type Sockeye Salmon in Transbound...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different... -
Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council: Freshwater Habitat
This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"... -
Northwest Coast Traditional Salmon Fisheries System of Resource Utilization
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... -
Movement patterns, timing of migration and genetic population structure of bu...
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... -
Morice River Stream Survey August 1975
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,... -
Morice River Steelhead Trout: the 1976 and 1977 Sport Fishery and Life Histor...
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... -
Marine Fish and Fish Habitat Technical Data Report: Proposed Aurora LNG Project
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... -
Managing Biodiversity in Pacific Salmon: the Evolution of the Skeena River So...
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. -
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...
