This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

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...

Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales...

The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

This document provides a basis for the design phase of an environmental effects monitoring program (EEM) for Repap's pulp and paper mill, Skeena Cellulose Inc., located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The pre-design document is essentially a "State of...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different...

The Habitat Restoration and Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) was established in 1996/97 to complement the Pacific Salmon Revitalization Strategy. The main objective of the federally funded HRSEP is to revitalize salmonid populations in British Columbia...

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...

Spawning and presence locale for coho salmon species within the Skeena Watershed. Information includes shape files and KMLs of stream segments with identified salmon presence.

This study aims to provide a preliminary assessment of the potential risks and pathways of impacts on salmon and salmon habitat arising from coalbed methane (CBM) development in the Klappan Coalbed Gas Tenure in northwest British Columbia, held by Shell...

The purpose of this catalogue is to bring under a single cover historical and recent information which describes salmon spawning grounds and annual escapements in the Skeena River drainage and immediately adjacent to it.

Adult sockeye and pink salmon were captured, tagged, and released in coastal fisheries of southern Southeast Alaska and northern British Columbia between 1982 and 1985. Sockeye salmon were tagged in 1982 and 1983; pink salmon were tagged in 1982, 1984, and...

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...

The objective of this report is to present a concise distillation and elaboration where necessary, of the existing knowledge, studies and reports related to fish, fish habitat, other aquatic resources, riparian management, and generally factors related to...

Preliminary 2021 Skeena Sockeye Forecast

Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other...

These habitat report cards were developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena salmon for migration, spawning, rearing and incubation, as well as their...

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...
