Sustut River Steelhead Investigations, 1986
The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),... -
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. -
Rates of Movement and Timing of Migrations of Steelhead Trout To and Within t...
Summer-run steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returning to the Skeena River system were radio-tagged to determine their rates of movement through commercial salmon fisheries near the river mouth. The run timing of individual spawning population was also... -
Radio Telemetry Studies of Summer Run Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River Dra...
Radio tagging studies were carried out in the Skeena drainage in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. During the fall of 1978, 24 steelhead were radio tagged on the Morice River, 15 on the Kispiox River, 14 on the... -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Steelhead Tagged in the Lower Bulkley River...
Between September 11 and October 2, 1989, twenty three steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were radio tagged in the Bulkley River downstream from Moricetown Canyon. The objective was to assess the rate of migration through Moricetown Canyon. Tagged fish... -
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... -
Movements of Summer Run Steelhead Trout Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the...
Radio telemetry was used to determine spawning locations of wild adult summer run steelhead in the Zymoetz River. Conventional angling methods were used to capture adult steelhead in the river during the Spring, prior to spawning. Radio transmitters were... -
Movements of Babine River Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Surgically and Gas...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to assess whether fish behavior differed between the two implementation times and methodologies. The secondary objectives were to document steelhead movements, including those in the vicinity of the Department... -
Movement of Radio Tagged Steelhead in the Morice River Determined by Helicopt...
This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be... -
Live Capture and Tagging of Skeena Chinook Feasibility Study
The Skeena River supports over 75 separate spawning populations of Chinook salmon. Four river systems, the Kitsumkalum, Morice, Kispiox and Bear Rivers account for approximately 70% of the total spawner abundance. Fisheries managers and stock assessment... -
Copper Creek (Q.C.I.) Steelhead Trout: A Report on the Effect of Non Random R...
The prime purpose for this study was to determine if the number of steelhead kelts caught in a tidal gill net sockeye salmon fishery could be reduced. Subsequently, the objectives were expanded to generate information on steelhead population size, patterns... -
Commercial Interceptions of Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River: Radio Teleme...
Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery. -
Chinook Radiotelemtry Project: Skeena River 2010
In 2010 we carried out the first watershed-wide radiotelemetry project for Chinook salmon in the Skeena River. Our objectives were to tag Chinook and trace them to their spawning sites, determine the effectiveness of the latest Skeena Chinook microsatellite...
