Skeena River Steelhead Stock- Assessment Program: 1994 Catch and Escapement M...
During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were... -
Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Bulkley River Steelhead Trout: A Report on Angler Use, Tagging, and Life Hist...
The Bulkley River and its major tributary, Morice River, support one of the most intense steelhead trout fisheries in British Columbia. Recent mailed questionnaire surveys of steelhead anglers have shown that the Bulkley-Morice system ranked second in... -
Babine Lake Creel Survey at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in 1990
Total angler effort and rainbow trout catch at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in Babine Lake was estimated from May 1 to June 9, 1990 to document the catch of mature or spawner size fish. At Fulton, anglers fished for 313 days (average length = 2.39 h) and caught... -
The Wet'suwet'en Fisheries Bulkley/Morice River Steelhead Tagging Project at ...
Since 1999, the Moricetown Salmon Tagging Program has been conducted on the Bulkley River by the Wet’suwet’en Fisheries and Fisheries and Oceans Canada, with the inclusion of data collection for steelhead under assistance from the Ministry of Environment,... -
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),... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
Some Notes on the Habits and Habitat of Steelhead Trout in the Kispiox River ...
During the spring and summer of 1976, two investigations funded through the salmonid enhancement program were conducted on the steelhead trout of the Kispiox River. The first project, commencing in April and ending in August, was designed to document the... -
Skeena River Selective Harvest Monitoring Projects
The purpose of this study is to quantitate and validate native fish harvests (food fishery harvests and excess salmon spawning requirement [ESSR] harvests) and releases in 1995. The reports analyze different methods of harvest used by indigenous communities... -
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 Run Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River, 19...
The primary objective of this study was to identify the specific stocks of steelhead as they enter the Skeena and determine their rate of movement within the Skeena River drainage. Methods of live-capturing fish in large rivers were also evaluated. -
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... -
Radio Telemetry Studies of Summer Run Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River Dra...
Radio tagging studies were carried out in the Skeena drainage in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. During the fall of 1978, 24 steelhead were radio tagged on the Morice River, 15 on the Kispiox River, 14 on the... -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Steelhead Tagged in the Lower Bulkley River...
Between September 11 and October 2, 1989, twenty three steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were radio tagged in the Bulkley River downstream from Moricetown Canyon. The objective was to assess the rate of migration through Moricetown Canyon. Tagged fish... -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Babine River Steelhead, Spring 1990
The Babine River ranks as one of the best wild steelhead rivers in the world. It is one of British Columbia's five Class I rivers; streams with this classification offer extremely valuable wilderness fishing opportunities. Despite the world-class status of... -
Preliminary Estimate of the Escapement of Summer Steelhead to the Nass River,...
Abundance estimates of the summer steelhead escapement to the Nass River was estimated with mark-recapture methods. The preliminary estimate was exploratory in nature and the primary objective of the marking and recovery of steelhead were marked with... -
Observations on Cutthroat Trout of the Lakelse River System, 1986, and Implic...
Cutthroat trout contribute substantially to the Lakelse Lake-River sport fishery. This tagging study of cutthroat trout was undertaken during the May-November period of 1986 on the upper Lakelse River to improve the information base on which this expanding... -
