Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Babine River Steelhead, 1993/94: Population Estimate and Weir Assessment
This steelhead study included a population estimate of the upper Babine River and a trial operation of the Babine River Weir for future enumeration of the upper Babine and Boucher Creek populations. A mark/recapture study was conducted to assess the 1993/94... -
Babine Lake Watershed Sockeye Smolt Population Estimation Project - Mark-Reca...
In the spring of 2013, the Lake Babine Nation (LBN), in collaboration with the Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC), successfully resumed the Babine Lake Watershed Sockeye Smolt Enumeration Project, and continued it again in 2014, and 2015. In 2014, the exact... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
The Return of Sockeye Salmon Marked at Babine and Lakelse Lakes
The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"... -
Survival Rates of Fry Released in the Headwaters of the Suskwa and Zymoetz Ri...
In order to assess the effectiveness of the Skeena fry stocking program, information of marked recaptures was examined. Sizeable returns of marked steelhead adults are not expected until 1990, but sparse data from early pilot projects was examined as a... -
Steelhead Tagging Projects at Moricetown Canyon
The Wet'suwet'en Fisheries conducted an extensive coho and steelhead tagging program at Moricetown canyon in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans will summarize coho data in a separate report. The analysis of... -
Pacific Salmon Commission Northern Boundary Technical Committee Report: Statu...
This document presents an assessment of the status of coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) in the Canadian northern boundary areas with emphasis on the Skeena River. The content of this assessment has largely been drawn from published assessments. There are... -
Movements of Wild Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the ...
Radio telemetry was used for the second consecutive migration year to determine the proportion of wild, Babine River adult summer run steelhead migrating through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' enumeration weir, near the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake.... -
Movement of Radio Tagged Steelhead in the Morice River Determined by Helicopt...
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... -

This report deals with the catches of sockeye and other species of fish made in the course of fishing for marked sockeye during the spring, summer and fall after their entry into the Babine Lake (1966-1968). -
Lakelse Sockeye Adult Monitoring Program
Reports on the Lakelse Sockeye Adult Monitoring Program from 2014-2018 analyzing the ratio of wild to enhanced (hatchery) sockeye salmon adults returning to spawn in Williams Creek, and to studying the total population continuing from the Fry Outplant... -
Effects of Beaver on Juvenile Coho Salmon Habitat in Kispiox River Tributaries
The purpose of this study was to collect data to determine how beaver dams might affect coho populations in tributaries of the Kispiox River, and to provide a review of the literature on the effects of beaver activity on salmonid populations. -
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... -
Bulkley/Morice Steelhead Assessment, 2000: A Petersen Capture-Recapture Estim...
This steelhead tagging program, combined with a recapture phase, allows an estimate of the number of steelhead in the Bulkley system upstream of Moricetown Canyon. In Autumn 2000~ the program was again conducted, with tags applied in three different... -
Bulkley/Morice Steelhead Assessment Project 1998/99
This report details the findings of the cancelled sampling project. The project's aim was to collect and collate data on steelhead in the Bulkley/Morice study area and to determine the ratio of tagged to untagged steelhead in the river. -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon Populations of Babine Lake
