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...

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...

The purpose of this report is to present the known history of sockeye production data, the biological and management information available, enhancement requirements, and potential techniques for the restoration of Morice-Nanika sockeye.

The Morice-Nanika Sockeye Recovery Plan process provides a framework for aboriginal, government, industry, and public groups to work together towards stock recovery.

The Annual Monitoring Plan sets out the year’s proposed activities and budget which are created from the MWMT Monitoring Framework and is consistent with the MWMT Agreement.

This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

The Morice Lake Management Plan establishes long-term strategic direction for Morice Lake Park. It sets out a vision for the future state of the park; addresses current issues affecting that long-term vision; and, guides day-to-day park management.

This dataset comprises water temperature information collected from 15 hydrometric stations in the Upper Bulkley River watershed since 2016. Resources include a link to an interactive dashboard featuring the results, a monitoring station map, raw water...

An interim report documenting the numbers and locations of coho observations during 1998 stream walks.

B.C. Hydro has proposed developing various resources for meeting future electric power requirements of the province. The main resources included are: hydro-electric power, coal, oil, natural gas, wood waste, and geo-thermal power. Prior to any development...

A geomorphological study of the Morice River floodplain, between the confluence of the Thautil River and Fenton Creek (Reach 2), was undertaken at the request of the Forest Service, Morice Forest District to identify the extent of the floodplain and prepare...

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...

Returns of sockeye salmon to the Morice-Nanika production system (tributary to the Skeena River) routinely exceeded 60,000 pieces prior to 1950. Between 1950 and 1955 escapements declined precipitously to only a few thousand adults and this condition has...

The Morice-Nanika sockeye stock has been assessed by the DFO since the late 1940's. Over the past two years both DFO and Wet'suwet'en Fisheries have been addressing Morice-Nanika stock status with respect to productive potential and exploitation rate trends...

This report by the Wet'suwet'en Nation and Fisheries and Oceans Canada is intended as a framework towards the recovery of sockeye in the Morice Recovery Unit.

This overview provides a brief description of basic features of the Bulkley River watershed. This plan represents phase one of a larger planning process and will evolve in response to priority setting and monitoring.

This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of...

Slope failures along this section have led to a number of proposed remedial works, including rip rap placement at sites identified by the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MOELP) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) staff as sensitive to...

The primary objective of the inventory programme was to identify and confirm the locations and fish habitat potential of watercourses along the KSL Project pipeline route, from KP 0 to KP 462.2. Sampling also documented fish presence/absence and habitat...

This catalogue contains a summary of information on fish and fish habitats for 83 streams in the DFO Subdistrict 4D, Smithers, Volume 2 (Bulkley). The catalogue is organized as follows: Map indices, user guides, streams summaries, bibliography, and stream...
