The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

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...

Juvenile sockeye migration routes and habitat use were explored in this study by examining the abundance of sockeye smolts, the timing of collections, the size of smolts and their diet, and by using microsatellite DNA analysis and mixed stock assignment...

This study examined the effects of release time on the migratory behaviour and survival of wild and hatchery-reared coho salmon using acoustic and coded-wire telemetry.

This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors...

Explain some key concepts needed to determine WSP benchmarks and how these are extended to development of a multi-stock fishing plan, with input from community/industry advisors.

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...

This analysis report provides a foundation upon which other researchers can base investigations into drivers of sockeye productivity for the Fraser River and elsewhere.

As part of the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy (AFS) deliverables for 2016/2017 field crews from the Kitselas Resource Department conducted spawning assessments on Williams Creek on August 15, 23, 29, and September 6, of 2016.

This report briefly outlines the changes taking place in the commercial, aboriginal and recreational fisheries and the challenges they face. Further described is a vision for the post-treaty fisheries, and reforms needed to realize the improvement and...

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,...

The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective...

A thesis explaining the changing geography of British Columbia's commercial salmon canning industry between 1870 and 1931.

The focus of this study examines the diet of young salmon in Chatham Sound and adjacent waters.

The objective of this study was to estimate stock composition of steelhead trout caught in test fisheries in the lower portion of the Skeena River drainage near Tyee and to assess the reliability of the estimates.

Steelhead stock report on population abundance and declines in British Columbia.

This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size...

The 2006 results of a sockeye parasite sampling program that was initiated in 1996 to monitor the infection rate.

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.

The purpose of this project is to provide an update of Skeena steelhead population structure that is more consistent with both the federal methodology and the intent of the wild salmon policy. The paper is intended as scientific guidance, not provincial...
