Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluations arose out of the Forest and Range Practices Act as a way of measuring the effectiveness of the Act in accomplishing its forest stewardship objectives. The field procedure for Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluation...

Map series depicting various marine values along the North Coast.

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...

This report discusses the study on eelgrass in the Chatham Sound estuary. The study was aimed to provide quality data and recommendations to relevant management authorities (specifically the DFO, BC Parks and North Coast First Nations whose traditional...

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...

The Office of the Wet'suwet'en (OW) presents this submission to British Columbia Environmental Assessment Agency (BC EAO). This submission is a component of the Wet'suwet'en response in respect of the proposed Coastal GasLink pipeline project within...

The Office of the Wet'suwet'en (OW) presents this submission to the Northern Gateway Joint Review Panel. This submission is a component of the Wet'suwet'en response in respect of the proposed Northern Gateway project within Wet'suwet'en territory. The...

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further...

This report summarizes the stock status, and current data available on, the upper Sustut, lower Sustut, and Bear River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations. The upper Sustut and lower Sustut/Bear sub-populations differ markedly in their life-history...

The Toboggan Creek Hatchery attempts to preserve and enhance the stocks of Coho and Chinook salmon populations in the Bulkley-Morice drainages. This dataset includes annual reports on the brood, escapement and return for the Toboggan Creek Hatchery.

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver...

For the past ten years the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) have been collecting information on adult and juvenile sockeye and coho in Slamgeesh Lake in the northern part of the Skeena watershed.

Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted hydroacoustic surveys at five sockeye rearing lakes in the Skeena Watershed. The main objectives of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species composition at...

A large sampling program was undertaken in 2009 by the Skeena Fisheries Commission to improve the genetic baseline information on Skeena River Chinook.

Skeena Fisheries Commission (SKF) has conducted mobile hydroacoustic surveys in small lakes throughout the Skeena Watershed since 2005. The main objective of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species...

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...

This eleventh report of an annual series updates the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems.

This paper outlines stock status for wild Skeena River sockeye salmon based on updated assessments of freshwater production in nursery lakes, available catch and escapement data, and modelled exploitation rates.

This report presents summaries of data collected from 60 B.C sockeye nursery lakes between 1977 and 2000. Factors which constrain sockeye production in each lake and, where possible, make recommendations on the technique(s) most likely to increase stock...

Forest Renewal BC is implementing fish and fish habitat inventories to provide information required for resource planning. Triton's goals were to describe fish distributions and habitat characteristics, and to provide stream classifications according to the...
