Atlas of Sockeye High Value Habitat in the Skeena Watershed
The goal of the project was to compile and share existing data that identify habitat of sockeye salmon in the Skeena watershed. This in turn supports implementation of the Wild Salmon Policy. Ecotrust Canada carried out this work for the Habitat... -
Upper Sustut, Lower Sustut, and Bear River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data...
This report summarizes the stock status, and current data available on, the upper Sustut, lower Sustut, and Bear River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations. The upper Sustut and lower Sustut/Bear sub-populations differ markedly in their life-history... -
Sustut River Steelhead Investigations, 1986
The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),... -
Skeena Steelhead Conservation Units
The purpose of this project is to provide an update of Skeena steelhead population structure that is more consistent with both the federal methodology and the intent of the wild salmon policy. The paper is intended as scientific guidance, not provincial... -
Skeena Fish Populations and their Habitat
This report is a follow-up to an earlier volume (Gottesfeld et al. 2002) which was prepared as part of the Skeena Watershed Fish Sustainability Plan process. The earlier report, Conserving Skeena Fish Populations and Their Habitat, presents an overview of... -
Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspection (FPCI) Surveys
In 2005, the Skeena Fisheries Commission was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged stream crossings distinguished with fish presence along Highway #16 between Terrace and Prince... -

This document presents the available salmonid resource information as well as the status of development activity and physiographic conditions within the Skeena River basin portion of the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) area. This... -
Review of the Escapement of Adult Steelhead to the Upper Sustut River
This report reveals the enumeration of the upper Sustut River steelhead population, which has provided fisheries managers with yearly population index values and time series data to help determine the relative abundance and population trends of early run... -
Review and Assessment of Water Quality in the Skeena River Watershed, British...
Historical water quality data presented for the Skeena River watershed are divided into nine subsequent sections, corresponding to the nine major watershed reaches. Each section is divided into 6 subsections: hydrology, land use history, water withdrawals,... -
Results of the Upper Sustut River Weir Steelhead Assessment Projects
A floating PVC fish fence was installed into the upper Sustut River annually since 1992, as an indicator of annual upper Sustut River adult steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance. -

This document presents an assessment of the status of coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) in the Canadian northern boundary areas with emphasis on the Skeena River. The content of this assessment has largely been drawn from published assessments. There are... -
Juvenile Steelhead Surveys in the Sustut River 1993
Steelhead studies were conducted in the upper Sustut River. The objectives of the studies were to determine the time of arrival, abundance, and migration behaviour of steelhead and to assess the upper Sustut River's suitability as an index stream for upper... -
Juvenile Steelhead Surveys in the Kitwanga, Morice, Sustut and Zymoetz Rivers
Surveys of juvenile steelhead fry and parr abundance were conducted on four steelhead systems tributary to the Skeena River in northwestern B.C. for three consecutive years. The four systems assessed were the Kitwanga, Morice, Sustut and Zymoetz (Copper)... -
Enumeration of Adult Steelhead in the Upper Sustut River
Th objectives of the enumeration program were to index the Upper Sustut river steelhead population, examine the sex, number, growth, and size distribution of previously tagged steelhead, examine the effect of water height and temperature on steelhead... -
Chinook Radiotelemtry Project: Skeena River 2010
In 2010 we carried out the first watershed-wide radiotelemetry project for Chinook salmon in the Skeena River. Our objectives were to tag Chinook and trace them to their spawning sites, determine the effectiveness of the latest Skeena Chinook microsatellite... -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
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... -
