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... -
Conserving Kispiox Fish Populations and their Habitat
This report was prepared for the Kispiox Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Plan (KWFSP) planning table. It briefly describes the origin, purpose, and benefits of Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Planning (WFSP), a four-stage planning sequence that... -
Bulkley River Steelhead Trout: A Report on Angler Use, Tagging, and Life Hist...
The Bulkley River and its major tributary, Morice River, support one of the most intense steelhead trout fisheries in British Columbia. Recent mailed questionnaire surveys of steelhead anglers have shown that the Bulkley-Morice system ranked second in... -
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... -
An Upstream Battle: Declines in 10 Pacific Salmon Stocks and Solutions for th...
This report profiles the current status and trends of 10 examples of salmon stocks in British Columbia that are considered to be in a severe state of decline. (There are many others.) These stocks were selected because they are geographically located within... -
A Survey of Zymoetz (Copper) River Steelhead Anglers in 1999
The Zymoetz (Copper) River in the Skeena Region of northwestern British Columbia (B.C.) is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a Classified Waters system to... -
A Survey of Upper Babine River Steelhead Anglers during the Classified Waters...
The Babine River of the Skeena Region is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a classified waters system to protect such high quality angling experiences on... -
Zymoetz River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data and Status Review, 1997
The Zymoetz River arises in a chain of headwater lakes (McDonell, Dennis, and Aldrich lakes) 29 km southwest of Smithers, and flows 109 km to the confluence with the Skeena River. The river has two major tributaries; the Clore River and the Kitnayakwa... -
Upper Sustut, Lower Sustut, and Bear River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data...
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... -
Upper Bulkley River Steelhead Population Monitoring
The upper Bulkley River system, near Houston, was first assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in 1981. The initial assessment identified probably areas of importance for steelhead recruitment and juvenile rearing. In 1982 an index sampling... -
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... -
Telkwa Coal Project Appendix 12: Aquatic Resource Assessment 1985
Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa... -
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... -
Surveys of Native Food Fisheries for Steelhead in the Skeena River System
Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales... -
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... -
Stream Inventory: Fenton Creek and Adjacent Tributaries 1997
This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention.... -
Steelhead Trout Productivity and Stream Carrying Capacity for Rivers of the S...
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... -
