Lakelse Lake Limnology and Juvenile Fish Ecology: 2003 Update
In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion... -
Upper Bulkley River Coho Carcass Recovery Program: 2001
This carcass recovery program evaluated the feasibility of conducting carcass recovery on the spawning grounds in the Upper Bulkley River mainstem and tributaries. -
Strategic Stock Enhancement Program Report Upper Skeena: 1998/1999/2000
The Upper Bulkley River coho are an extreme conservation concern. The objective for Upper Bulkley coho was to release up to 80K fry to rearing areas in the watershed that are currently under-utilized. Coho released as fry would be subjected to natural... -
Population Structure of Lake-Type and River-Type Sockeye Salmon in Transbound...
The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different... -
North Coast Coho Stock Assessment 2005
The North Coast Coho Stock Assessment for 2005 includes information on the Coho assessment framework, escapement estimates, and the in-season abundance indicator. -
Lakelse Lake Egg Capsule Incubation Study
A record for the proposal of the Lakelse Lake egg capsule incubation study. It is believed that poor stream habitats is the leading cause of the rapid decline to Lakelse Lake sockeye populations. With support from the Lakelse Lake Sockeye Recovery Team and... -
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salm...
In the current study, we evaluate the utility of using the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one MHC locus for lake-specific identification of sockeye salmon over its natural range. This evaluation is conducted by examining the accuracy and precision... -
Canada's Policy for Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon: Stream, Lake, and Es...
This report documents the methodology used by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to identify potential Strategy 2 habitat indicators, metrics, and benchmarks (as well as possible sampling protocols). The proposed list of indicators presented in... -
Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon Populations of Babine Lake
This study aims to find evidence of changes in the abundance of sockeye relative to spawning numbers, and evidence of the dispersal and subsequent distribution of juveniles in the lake to determine the extent to which the available lake nursery area is... -
Area 4 Chum Escapement Survey Plan
This project was an evaluation of the Skeena chum escapement survey plan against the requirement to provide representative indices of spawner abundance. -
2001 Beach Seine Survey Project
The Beach Seine Survey project is a study of the juvenile salmonids distribution and their uses of the foreshore. Firstly, each site results were summarized individually by relating the incidence of each species over time. Secondly, impacted and... -
DNA-Level Variation of Sockeye Salmon in Southeast Alaska and the Nass and Sk...
The objectives of the present study were to analyze the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and 1 MHC locus in Nass River, Skeena River, and Southeast Alaska sockeye salmon populations so as to evaluate the suite of loci for application to stock... -
2002 Babine Lake Tributary Juvenile Coho Assessment Program
This study aims to determine the extent of distribution of coho salmon usage and distribution in tributaries to Babine Lake, along with the ability of the tributaries to produce salmon.
