The Selective Action of Gillnets on Sockeye and Pink Salmon Stocks
The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective... -
Spawning Stock Size and Resultant Production for Skeena Sockeye
This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size... -
Proceedings from the World Summit on Salmon
The World Summit on Salmon evolved in response to growing concerns of scientists and others about the future of the salmon stocks of the world, in light of the recent collapses of a number of the fish stocks globally, including Canada’s North Atlantic Cod. -
Population Structure and Run Timing of Sockeye Salmon in the Skeena, British ...
This study evaluates the population structure of Sockeye Salmon in the Skeena River by surveying variations at 14 microsatellites, and also assessed the utility of the microsatellites for identification of the timing of return of Sockeye Salmon populations... -
Managing the Skeena River Sockeye Salmon Fishery - the Process and the Problems
The purposes of this report are to review the development of the management of Skeena sockeye, to describe the current process of managing the Skeena sockeye fishery with emphasis on objective setting and in-season decision making, and to recommend... -
Managing Biodiversity in Pacific Salmon: the Evolution of the Skeena River So...
This report discusses the trade-off fisheries managers are faced with that remains unresolved – how to reap the benefits from commercially valuable stocks while maintaining diversity essential for sustainability. -
Comparison of the Fecundity of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Ske...
Skeena River sockeye salmon are caught by the fishery mainly with gillnets. It is generally recognized that gillnets are selective for size. Foskett (1958) compared the size of sockeye sampled from the Rivers Inlet catch with the size of those sampled from... -
A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon
This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes.... -
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...
