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... -
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... -
Copper Creek (Q.C.I.) Steelhead Trout: A Report on the Effect of Non Random R...
The prime purpose for this study was to determine if the number of steelhead kelts caught in a tidal gill net sockeye salmon fishery could be reduced. Subsequently, the objectives were expanded to generate information on steelhead population size, patterns... -
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. -
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,... -

The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C. -
A Preliminary Investigation of Kitsumkalum River Steelhead Trout 1980-81
Increasing angling pressure combined with intensive logging in the upper watershed and growing human development in the lower watershed during recent years prompted the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch to conduct a preliminary investigation of Kalum River... -
Sustut River Steelhead Overwinter Mortality Study (Skeena Steelhead Chevron C...
This study investigates overwinter mortality by radio tagging steelhead in the upper Sustut River and monitoring their survival between the beginning of September, 1998, and spawning in June, 1999. Somass River summer steelhead were tagged with dummy radio... -
Suskwa River Steelhead Trout: the Colonization of Harold-Price Creek with Hat...
This report addresses itself to the following sequence of events in 1979: the capture of adult steelhead in the lower Suskwa River for egg collection purposes, the hatchery rearing of fry from Suskwa donor stock, the introduction of hatchery produced Suskwa... -
Consequences of Catch-and-Release Angling on the Physiology, Behaviour, and S...
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the sub-lethal impacts and survival of wild steelhead following C&R angling. Steelhead were assessed for the presence of the righting reflex (an effective and non-invasive proxy for stress and mortality...
