Limnological and Limnetic Fish Surveys of North Coast Area Lakes in 2005
This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors... -
Lakelse Lake Limnology and Juvenile Fish Ecology: 2003 Update
In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion... -

This overview provides a brief description of basic features of the Bulkley River watershed. This plan represents phase one of a larger planning process and will evolve in response to priority setting and monitoring. -
Fish Passage Assessment of Kispiox Forestry Road Stream Crossing
The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage assessments conducted at Kispiox forestry road stream crossings. The Kispiox fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish... -
Conserving Morice Watershed Fish Populations and their Habitat: Stage II Biop...
This report addresses Stage II of the Watershed-based Fish Sustainability Planning process by developing the biophysical profile of the Morice Watershed. Stage II produced a biophysical and sociopolitical profile of each of the priority watershed planning... -
Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an... -
An Upstream Battle: Declines in 10 Pacific Salmon Stocks and Solutions for th...
This report profiles the current status and trends of 10 examples of salmon stocks in British Columbia that are considered to be in a severe state of decline. (There are many others.) These stocks were selected because they are geographically located within... -
Upper Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspection
The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage inspections along the B.C. Rail grade located in the upper Skeena Watershed. In 2007, Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) was retained by the Pacific Salmon... -
