Nass River Steelhead Habitat Capability Production Model and Preliminary Esca...
This report describes a habitat-based steelhead production model for the Nass watershed and presents the results for 63 sub-basin watersheds of 3rd order size or greater (1:20,000 mapping). The primary objective was to develop a habitat-based method for... -
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. -
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... -
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... -
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...
