Compilation of Stock Assessment Information for Skeena River Steelhead: Habit...
Geographic information from the BC Watershed Atlas and juvenile steelhead surveys from the Sustut, Kispiox, Bulkley, and Upper Skeena rivers were used to update a model of steelhead trout carrying capacity estimation in the Skeena drainage. The existing... -
Commercial Interceptions of Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River: Radio Teleme...
Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery. -

This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
Babine Steelhead - A Future
The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,... -
Acoustic Telemetry Measurements of Survival and Movements of Adult Steelhead ...
This report details the findings of preliminary data on the apparent survival and migratory behaviours of returning Skeena River steelhead. -
