This report summarizes the stock status, and current data available on, the upper Sustut, lower Sustut, and Bear River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations. The upper Sustut and lower Sustut/Bear sub-populations differ markedly in their life-history... -
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... -
Telkwa Coal Project: Application for a Project Approval Certificate
The Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -

Review of the Escapement of Adult Steelhead to the Upper Sustut River
This report reveals the enumeration of the upper Sustut River steelhead population, which has provided fisheries managers with yearly population index values and time series data to help determine the relative abundance and population trends of early run... -
Results of the Kloiya River Resistivity Counter
The objective of this study was to quantify juvenile steelhead abundance and estimate values for habitat capacity thresholds. In 2005, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) began investigating the potential of using the Kloiya as an index stream for monitoring... -
Report on the Preliminary Survey of Steelhead of Skeena River Drainage Systems
This report represents an effort to compile as much information as possible on the distribution, migration, and life history of steelhead in the Skeena system. Reference was made to regional files, Department of Fisheries publications, Fisheries Research... -
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 Summer Run Steelhead Trout Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the...
Radio telemetry was used to determine spawning locations of wild adult summer run steelhead in the Zymoetz River. Conventional angling methods were used to capture adult steelhead in the river during the Spring, prior to spawning. Radio transmitters were... -
Movements of Babine River Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Surgically and Gas...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to assess whether fish behavior differed between the two implementation times and methodologies. The secondary objectives were to document steelhead movements, including those in the vicinity of the Department... -
Morrison Lake Hydroacoustic Surveys
The Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted hydroacoustic surveys at Morrison Lake during the fall of 2011, 2012, and 2013 in order to determine the density and abundance of juvenile sockeye in this system. Morrison Lake, located in the Babine drainage,... -
