Assessment of Sockeye Fry Passage at the Babine River Adult Salmon Counting F...
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate whether the Babine River Counting Fence prevented sockeye fry that drifted downstream of the structure from migrating back upstream to suitable rearing habitat in June 2015. An engineering... -
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. -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
Evaluation of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Production from the Babine ...
Babine Lake Development Project (BLDP) intended to increase the number of sockeye salmon fry rearing in the main basin of Babine lake along with adult returns and commercial catch. This paper takes a look at the BLDP and reviews its effects 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... -
