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... -
Some Aspects of Food and Growth of Fish Species in Babine Lake
Food preferences and growth rates of various fish species in Babine Lake were analyzed. Kokanee fed primarily on plankton and insects, with no fish recorded in the diet. Insects were generally the most significant component of the diet of rainbow trout,... -
Migration Timing and Harvest Rates of the Steelhead Trout Populations of the ...
Migration timing and harvest rates of steelhead trout were examined in relation to the harvest of sockeye salmon in the mixed-stock fishery of the Skeena River. Summer-run steelhead overlap in their migration timing with sockeye salmon to a significant... -
Fish Habitat Inventory & Information Program: Stream Summary Catalogue
This catalogue contains a summary of information on fish and fish habitats for 83 streams in the DFO Subdistrict 4D, Smithers, Volume 2 (Bulkley). The catalogue is organized as follows: Map indices, user guides, streams summaries, bibliography, and stream... -
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... -
Effects of Beaver on Juvenile Coho Salmon Habitat in Kispiox River Tributaries
The purpose of this study was to collect data to determine how beaver dams might affect coho populations in tributaries of the Kispiox River, and to provide a review of the literature on the effects of beaver activity on salmonid populations. -
Chicago Creek Hatchery Operations Final Reports
These final reports include a project background, project objectives and accomplishments, project activity, results, and future objectives. -
Catalogue of Salmon Streams and Spawning Escapements of Statistical Area 4 (U...
This resource from Ecocat is a catalogue containing each stream's location, spawning distribution, barriers and points of difficult ascent, escapement records, and other general data pertaining to the stream. The catalogue also includes a topographical map... -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon
This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes.... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -
Preliminary Categorization of the Productivity of 37 Coastal and Skeena River...
We carried out limnological surveys of 37 lakes on British Columbia's north coast and Skeena River system. Limnological data collected on these surveys enabled us to make preliminary estimates of the lakes' trophic status and productive capacity for... -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
Trophic Status and Rearing Capacity of Smaller Sockeye Nursery Lakes in the S...
This report attempts to predict rearing capacity and optimum escapements for ten non-Babine study lakes around the Skeena River. Its main objectives are recognizing the status of juvenile stocks and trophic status of the ten lakes, along with potential... -
Sockeye Reported to Spawn Outside Babine Lake
This Pacific Stock Assessment Review Committee working paper from 1994 attempts to assess status of all anadromous sockeye salmon populations that spawn within the Skeena River Watershed, excluding those populations that spawn within the Babine Lake... -
Rationale and Follow-up on Terminating Nutrient Treatment of Morice Lake
Returns of sockeye salmon to the Morice-Nanika production system (tributary to the Skeena River) routinely exceeded 60,000 pieces prior to 1950. Between 1950 and 1955 escapements declined precipitously to only a few thousand adults and this condition has... -
Skeena Sockeye and Nanika Sockeye Production Trends
This memo summarizes catch, escapement, and estimated exploitation trends for the Skeena Sockeye aggregate and the Nanika River sockeye stock. The trend analysis for the Skeena sockeye aggregate includes data from 1956-2000. The trend analysis for the... -
Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon: Stock Status and Forecasts for 1998
This paper aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system it brings together recently (~1990s) compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry recruitment, smolt production,... -
Assessment of the Babine Lake Sockeye Development Program
This assessment aims to determine if the production of adult sockeye is directly attributable to the Babine Development Project and study the factors limiting production of Babine Lake Sockeye.
