Assessment of Sockeye Fry Passage at the Babine River Adult Salmon Counting F...
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate whether the Babine River Counting Fence prevented sockeye fry that drifted downstream of the structure from migrating back upstream to suitable rearing habitat in June 2015. An engineering... -
Adult and Juvenile Coho Salmon Enumeration and Coded-Wire Tag Recovery Analys...
Adult and juvenile coho migrations were monitored at Zolzap Creek, British Columbia, as part of the 2002-2003 Nisga'a Fisheries Program. The 2002 season is the eleventh year of continuous operation of the Zolzap Creek fences since 1992. This report includes... -
Upper Bulkley River Coho Carcass Recovery Program: 2001
This carcass recovery program evaluated the feasibility of conducting carcass recovery on the spawning grounds in the Upper Bulkley River mainstem and tributaries. -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
Skeena Sockeye Sub-Stock Run-Timing and Abundance Evaluated Using Tyee Fisher...
This memo provides estimates of Skeena sockeye sub-stock timing and abundance entering Area 3⁄4 estimated using genetic (mDNA) samples collected from the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery from 2000-2010. The genetic samples represent proportionate daily catch... -
Migration Timing and Harvest Rates of the Steelhead Trout Populations of the ...
Migration timing and harvest rates of steelhead trout were examined in relation to the harvest of sockeye salmon in the mixed-stock fishery of the Skeena River. Summer-run steelhead overlap in their migration timing with sockeye salmon to a significant... -
Habitat Restoration & Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) 1998/99 Summary Report
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... -
Description of a Daily Simulation Model for the Area 4 (Skeena) Commercial Gi...
This report describes a daily simulation model for the Area 4 commercial gillnet fishery. The model evaluates the effects of various gillnet fishing patterns on the catch and escapement of sockeye, steelhead (including sub-stocks), early-run coho, chinook,... -
Bulkley - Morice Spawning Report for 1961
Spot count of salmon at Moricetown Fishways in the Bulkley watershed in 1961. -
Biophysical Reconnaissance of the Morice River System, 1978-1980
A bio-manageability study of chinook and coho salmon was carried out on the Morice River near Houston, B.C. from the fall of 1978 to mid-1980. The objective of the program was to code wire tag at least 50,000 chinook fry from the 1978 and 1979 broods and as... -
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... -
Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
A Summary of Coded Wire tag recovery information from northern BC and Alaskan...
Estimated adjusted coded wire tag (CWT) recovery data for 3-year age class coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) tagged in lower Skeena River (Thornhill Creek/Eby Street, Terrace) and upper Skeena River (Kispiox River, Toboggan Creek, Fort Babine, Fulton... -
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.... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
The Migration Times of the Skeena River Sockeye Runs Through the Estuary as I...
During the years from 1944 to 1948, inclusive, and during 1955, sockeye salmon were tagged in the estuary of the Skeena River partly to determine whether there is any segregation of populations destined to the various tributary lakes in point of time of... -

An additional report regarding the tag-recapture program instituted in cooperation with fishing lodges on the Babine River, aiming to provide some ancillary biological information. -
1980 Morice River Coded Wire Tagging (CWT) Program
As a precursor to a proposed hatchery facility, bio-baseline and manageability studies were initiated in the spring of 1979 and continued in the spring of 1980. The purpose of the downstream portion of the 1980 study was four-fold: 1) to capture, rear and...
