Upper Zymoetz (Copper River) WRP Overview Fish and Riparian Assessment
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... -
Update Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production from Babine Lake, British Colu...
Wood et al. (1998) provided the last formal assessment of sockeye production from Babine Lake using production data spanning the 1950-1996 return years (1950-1991 brood years). This update adds 14 more years to the data series (1950-2010 return years,... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory Shovel/Maxan Sub-Un...
The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several drainages within the Babine Lake watershed group. This is a continuation of a multi-year FRBC project commenced in 1996 for the Babine Forest... -
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 Steelhead Trout in the Cranberry, Kispiox, ...
Radio tagging studies were carried out on four Skeena River tributaries and one Nass River tributary in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. This study aimed to monitor movements of steelhead within the tributaries... -
Movements of Wild Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the ...
Radio telemetry was used for the second consecutive migration year to determine the proportion of wild, Babine River adult summer run steelhead migrating through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' enumeration weir, near the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake.... -
Microsatellite Diversity Assessment of Steelhead Population Structure Before ...
Allelic variation at 10 microsatellite loci was assayed in steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) scale samples (n=333) collected in various years 1976-2003, from the lower mainstem Kitimat River, British Columbia. The objective was to investigate the... -
Evaluation of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Production from the Babine ...
Babine Lake Development Project (BLDP) intended to increase the number of sockeye salmon fry rearing in the main basin of Babine lake along with adult returns and commercial catch. This paper takes a look at the BLDP and reviews its effects and... -
Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production in Babine Lake, British Columbia with...
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system in that it brings together, for the first time in many years, recently compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry... -
A Review of the Babine Lake Development Project 1961-1976
This report describes the results of the Babine Development Project evaluation program relative to the individual components within project, containing components which describe the individual projects from the predevelopment stage to the present. -
A Review of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Chinook
Skeena management has changed significantly over the last decade, particularly since 1993 with the formation of the Skeena Watershed Committee. Interest, concern, and the need for chinook assessments on the Skeena are high. PSARC reviewed Skeena chinook in... -
A Preliminary Investigation of Kitsumkalum River Steelhead Trout 1980-81
Increasing angling pressure combined with intensive logging in the upper watershed and growing human development in the lower watershed during recent years prompted the B.C. Fish and Wildlife Branch to conduct a preliminary investigation of Kalum River... -
A Polymorphic Population of Oncorhynchus Nerka at Babine Lake, B.C. Involving...
This thesis studies the reproductive behavior, life cycles, and physical differences between Kokanee and Sockeye salmon in the Babine Lake streams, along with the possible causes for these differences. -
Evaluating Relationships between Wild Skeena River Sockeye Salmon Productivit...
In Canada’s Skeena Watershed, smolt-to-adult survival of Babine Lake sockeye from 1962–2002 was inversely related to the abundance of sockeye smolts leaving Babine Lake. This relationship has led to the concern that Babine Lake smolt production, which is... -
Trophic Status and Rearing Capacity of Smaller Sockeye Nursery Lakes in the S...
This report attempts to predict rearing capacity and optimum escapements for ten non-Babine study lakes around the Skeena River. Its main objectives are recognizing the status of juvenile stocks and trophic status of the ten lakes, along with potential... -
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. -
PSF Climate Adaptation Workshop: State of Salmon and Climate Change Considera...
A link to a recording of the Pacific Salmon Foundation 2021 Climate Adaptation Workshop hosted by the Pacific Salmon Foundation. The goal of this workshop was to bring together salmon scientists and stewards to discuss issues, challenges and solutions... -
Morice-Nanika Sockeye Recovery: Evaluation of Enhancement Options
The purpose of this report is to present the known history of sockeye production data, the biological and management information available, enhancement requirements, and potential techniques for the restoration of Morice-Nanika sockeye. -
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...
