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.... -
Stream Inventory Tagit Creek and Adjacent Tributaries 1997
The major emphasis of the study was to provide a broad-based aquatic inventory at an operational and landscape level to facilitate planning for forest development that minimizes impacts on the aquatic resources of the watershed. Emphasis was placed on... -
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... -
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... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
Some Notes on the Age and Size of Morice River Steelhead Trout from Anglers' ...
A creel census was conducted on the Morice River steelhead fishery during Autumn, 1976. The objectives of the study were two-fold: to collect detailed information on angler origin, angler distribution in the fishery, effort, success, and tackle preferences,... -
Riparian and In-Stream Assessment of the Bulkley River System: An Examination...
Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and... -
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 Upper Sustut River Weir Steelhead Assessment Projects
A floating PVC fish fence was installed into the upper Sustut River annually since 1992, as an indicator of annual upper Sustut River adult steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance. -
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... -
Reconnaissance Survey of Lakelse Lake
This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in Lakelse Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This includes aquatic vegetation, terrain features, food species, natural spawning and... -
Reconnaissance Report: Upper Bulkley River Steelhead Population Monitoring
The purpose of this report is to outline results of the 1983 steelhead fry recruitment monitoring program in the upper Bulkley system. The conclusion is that a larger fry population existed in 1983 than in 1981 or 1982. This data will serve as valuable... -
Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Stream Inventory Re-Sampling ...
The main objectives of the 1:20,000 fish and fish habitat reconnaissance level stream inventory project in lower Buck Creek watershed were: to review and summarize historical fisheries information for the study area, to describe fish distribution and... -
Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory Re-sampling of Pete...
This report summarizes past fish inventory efforts and results in context with data collected during re-sampling to present a comprehensive picture of fish distribution in the upper Peter-Aleck drainage. -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Babine River Steelhead, Spring 1990
The Babine River ranks as one of the best wild steelhead rivers in the world. It is one of British Columbia's five Class I rivers; streams with this classification offer extremely valuable wilderness fishing opportunities. Despite the world-class status of...
