Intra-regional similarities and inter-regional differences in wild steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance patterns over time throughout British Columbia were identified using Catch-per-Angler-Day (CpAD) as an index of abundance of wild in-river adult...

Alaskan fisheries in Southeast Alaska (SEAK) intercept salmon returning to British Columbia (BC) rivers. Given the current depressed status of many BC wild salmon populations, and in the context of changing marine and freshwater environments due to climate...

Trends in abundance and pre-season 2000 stock size forecasts for major sockeye, pink, and chum salmon stocks in the central coast and selected salmon stocks in Northern British Columbia, statistical areas 1-10. The recommended forecasts are based on simple...

This report reviews archival data on the earliest harvest of Pacific salmon in British Columbia by Europeans, first considering subsistence and export production by the Hudson's Bay Company and then the export production by the private entrepreneurs during...

LGL Limited was contracted by the Pacific Salmon Foundation in October 2011 to work with DFO stock assessment biologists to update the core datasets, database systems and analysis tools needed to track stock status and trends for BC salmon stocks. This...

This report provides provisional abundance estimates for pink, chum, and sockeye salmon in major regions of the North Pacific from 1952 through 2015 in terms of: numbers of natural- origin and hatchery-origin salmon returns (i.e., catch plus escapement),...

The BC Steelhead Harvest Analysis (SHA) is a province-wide mail survey of steelhead anglers which has been conducted annually since 1967, to obtain estimates of effort and catch stratified by stream and residency. This study reports the compilation and...

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,...

Estimated adjusted coded wire tag (CWT) recovery data for 3-year age class coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) tagged in lower Skeena River (Thornhill Creek/Eby Street, Terrace) and upper Skeena River (Kispiox River, Toboggan Creek, Fort Babine, Fulton...

Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment...

This report describes the results of a 1999 field assessment of fish and fish habitat in selected watersheds in DFO Areas 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 by participants of the 1999 North Coast Stream Inventory Project (NCSIP), managed through the Community Fisheries...

Concern over the status of chinook salmon on the Pacific Coast, and particularly in the north (Fig. 1), has become more prevalent in recent years due to an apparent decline in stock size. This concern emphasizes the need for better conservation, improved...

LGL Limited was contracted by the Pacific Salmon Foundation (PSF) in February 2018 to work with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) stock assessment biologists to update the core datasets, database systems and analysis tools needed to produce annual abundance...
