Babine Lake Sockeye Smolt Enumeration - Hydroacoustic Feasibility
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate the feasibility of using hydroacoustic methodology to enumerate outmigrating sockeye smolts at the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake in the spring of 2014 and 2015. Hydroacoustic techniques have the... -
Assessment of Sockeye Fry Passage at the Babine River Adult Salmon Counting F...
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate whether the Babine River Counting Fence prevented sockeye fry that drifted downstream of the structure from migrating back upstream to suitable rearing habitat in June 2015. An engineering... -
Toboggan Creek Steelhead Assessments
A collection of the Toboggan Creek steelhead assessments. Prior to 1993, assessment of the steelhead trout population in Toboggan Creek watershed was limited. The Toboggan Creek counting fence was first operated for steelhead in 1978 though it has been in... -
The Wet'suwet'en Fisheries Bulkley/Morice River Steelhead Tagging Project at ...
Since 1999, the Moricetown Salmon Tagging Program has been conducted on the Bulkley River by the Wet’suwet’en Fisheries and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, with the inclusion of data collection for steelhead under assistance from the Ministry of Environment,... -
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... -
Steelhead Tagging Projects at Moricetown Canyon
The Wet'suwet'en Fisheries conducted an extensive coho and steelhead tagging program at Moricetown canyon in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans will summarize coho data in a separate report. The analysis of... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
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 Sockeye In-River Run Reconstruction Analysis Model and Analysis Result...
This report provides a brief outline of a Skeena Sockeye In-River (SSIR) run reconstruction model built to combine information on run timing and escapements for Skeena sockeye sub-stocks with catch estimates for each sockeye fishery within the Skeena... -
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... -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Steelhead Tagged in the Lower Bulkley River...
Between September 11 and October 2, 1989, twenty three steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were radio tagged in the Bulkley River downstream from Moricetown Canyon. The objective was to assess the rate of migration through Moricetown Canyon. Tagged fish... -
Movement of Radio Tagged Steelhead in the Morice River Determined by Helicopt...
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... -
Fisheries Background Studies Morrison Watershed 2004
This report summarizes background fisheries information available for the Morrison Watershed. It focuses on Morrison Creek, Morrison Lake, and its inlet tributaries, with the objective of providing an overview of the fisheries resources of the entire... -
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. -
Enumeration of Adult Steelhead in the Upper Sustut River
Th objectives of the enumeration program were to index the Upper Sustut river steelhead population, examine the sex, number, growth, and size distribution of previously tagged steelhead, examine the effect of water height and temperature on steelhead... -
Description of a Daily Simulation Model for the Area 4 (Skeena) Commercial Gi...
This report describes a daily simulation model for the Area 4 commercial gillnet fishery. The model evaluates the effects of various gillnet fishing patterns on the catch and escapement of sockeye, steelhead (including sub-stocks), early-run coho, chinook,... -
Commercial Interceptions of Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River: Radio Teleme...
Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery. -
Chinook Radiotelemtry Project: Skeena River 2010
In 2010 we carried out the first watershed-wide radiotelemetry project for Chinook salmon in the Skeena River. Our objectives were to tag Chinook and trace them to their spawning sites, determine the effectiveness of the latest Skeena Chinook microsatellite... -
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
