Skeena Salmon Conservation Unit Snapshots for Sockeye
The Conservation Unit Snapshots ('CU Snapshot') are part of a 2013 project that summarizes key population and habitat information for Skeena salmon CUs. These Snapshots are intended to serve as a reference document to assist discussions about the state of... -
Assessment of Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks in the Northern Boundary Area Us...
A multi-time-period method of stock reconstruction was used to estimate harvest and stock interception rates by area and time period, exploitation rates and total run size by stock. The data required for these reconstructions were catch by time and area,... -
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... -
Genetics of century‐old fish scales reveal population patterns of decline
Conservation scientists rarely have the information required to understand changes in abundance over more than a few decades, even for important species like Pacific salmon. Such lack of historical information can underestimate the magnitude of decline for... -
Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory: Babine Lake Inlet Streams and a Tributary to...
The study area is located in upper Babine watershed of the Skeena drainage in north- central British Columbia (Figure 1). Selected streams in the area were inventoried for Forest Practice Code (FPC) stream classification and evaluation of requirements for... -
Evidence for Size-Selective Mortality of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchu...
The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect of body size at emergence on the subsequent survival of sockeye salmon fry in Babine Lake, British Columbia. -
Environmental Mitigation Plan Strimbold Bridge Maxan Creek Deactivation
This environmental mitigation plan identifies the issues and mitigation measures to best accomplish the collapsed bridge removal with the least environmental impacts and the safest approach. This plan considers different site conditions that may exist at... -
Documentation of Nearshore Sockeye Spawning Habitat in Babine Lake
This investigation aims to document the quantity and quality of suitable lake spawning habitat, determine if and where surplus sockeye spawn along with lake margin, and assess whether the anecdotal records of lake spawning by non-surplus sockeye are plausable. -
Digging Behaviour of Oncorhynchus Nerka Spawning in Streams at Babine Lake, B...
This paper compares the digging of male sockeye and kokanee with that of the females. Suggestions are made concerning its significance. -

A study of the behaviour of sockeye salmon fry during emergence and migration, along with an observation of the different stages of their lives. -
Babine lake Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Enhancement Program: Testing ...
This paper serves as an after study to the Babine Lake Sockeye Enhancement Program and its assumptions. These assumptions are as follows: The artificial spawning channels provide an effective means of producing sockeye fry, the fry are viable from their... -
Babine Watershed Change Program: Annual Report for 1972
A summary of the studies regarding the Babine Watershed Change Program, with topics ranging from discussion of industrial activities to fisheries and disease outbreaks. -
Babine River Salmon after Removal of the Rock Slide
This paper describes the results of investigations carried out in 1951 and 1952 to determine the effects of the rock slide in the Babine River and reports on the subsequent studies of 1953 pertaining to the removal of the rock slide. -
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 Limnological status and Productive Capacity of Babine Lake
The objectives of this study are determining Babine Lake's current trophic status, plankton community structure, and biomass, and to estimate its current rearing capacity for juvenile sockeye. Furthermore, the study also checks for detectable limnological... -
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. -
