During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were...

The 1994 steelhead catches in the commercial fishery of Area 4 were estimated by reference to the steelhead:sockeye ratio from observer records, and adjusted hail reports. The estimates obtained indicated that approximately 8494 steelhead were caught in...

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...

Juvenile fish sampling was conducted in the Upper Skeena area. Objectives included: to collect basic inventory data on juvenile steelhead in some "unknown" areas and to annually monitor steelhead fry recruitment where possible. The following report presents...

This dataset includes the plans and site photos of the Upper Bulkley River fish counting fence

The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more...

This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"...

Cutthroat trout contribute substantially to the Lakelse Lake-River sport fishery. This tagging study of cutthroat trout was undertaken during the May-November period of 1986 on the upper Lakelse River to improve the information base on which this expanding...

The North Coast Coho Stock Assessment for 2005 includes information on the Coho assessment framework, escapement estimates, and the in-season abundance indicator.

The 1996 harvest was unprecedented in a number of ways. It was the first time that all three nations in the Skeena watershed have worked together on such a huge scale. It was the largest harvest undertaken on Babine Lake in modern times in terms of the...

The purpose of this project was to compile existing fisheries information relating to fish species under provincial jurisdiction and, where appropriate, add the information to the FISS database. Additionally, as part of the project, an overview of fisheries...

Buckley Lake was sampled September 8-10, 2003 by Skeena Region Fisheries staff in an effort to address: 1) rainbow trout history characteristics; and 2) provide advice to Skeena Region Protected Areas staff on the sensitivity of the population to angler...

The steelhead population of Lakelse River is a major part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace area as well as for visitors from around the world. Compared to other streams in the Terrace area, such as the Zymoetz and...

The steelhead population of Kitwanga River forms a potentially important part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace, Kitwanga and Hazelton areas as well as for visitors from around the world. The Kitwanga is a relatively...

The steelhead population of Kitsumkalum River forms a major part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace area as well as for visitors from around the world. The Kitsumkalum is a relatively cold water river with reasonably...

This report summarizes the status, and current data available on the Kispiox River steelhead population, and to provide recommendations for future work to fill in the gaps in terms of life-history and fisheries management considerations. Kispiox steelhead...

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...

This document contains diagrams for fish fence models, such as guide frames, walkway panels, fry screen structures, and more.

Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in...

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...
