The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -
The Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -
Report on the Preliminary Survey of Steelhead of Skeena River Drainage Systems

Progress Reports on Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Studies for Inclusion in the B...
This report summarizes work carried out in 1966 and 1967 to answer two questions related to evaluation of the Babine Lake sockeye development project. These questions are, (l) how do fry produced from an artificial spawning channel compare to those produced... -
The Babine Lake Salmon Development Program Progress Report, 1968
Studies conducted by the Fisheries Research Board of Canada have indicated that sockeye fry densities are consistently lower in the main basin than in North Arm, despite similar densities of planktonic organisms. Basic productivity, as measured by the... -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
Age and Physical Characteristics of Maturing Chinook Salmon of the Nass, Skee...
During the last several years the Department of Fisheries of Canada has conducted "test-fishing" operations on the Nass, Skeena and Fraser rivers in order to obtain information on the magnitude and composition of the salmon spawning escapements. The... -
Age and Size of Rainbow Trout at the Outlet of Babine Lake and in Babine River
Rainbow trout are the most important sport fish in terms of angling effort in the Babine Lake system. Griffiths (1968) has reported on the age and growth of rainbow trout in the main part of Babine Lake but little or no information exists for Babine River.... -
A Re-Assessment of Moricetown Falls as an obstruction to Salmon Migration
This report which represents a general summary of the known information on the salmon stocks of the Bulkley River system, has been prepared in order to: (a) describe the effect of the Moricetown Falls native food fishery on the salmon and steelhead trout... -
Proposed Sockeye Salmon Development Program for Babine Lake
The purpose of this report is to review evidence bearing on the potential of Babine lake as a sockeye producer and examine means by which the potential may be exploited. -
