This is a historical guide documenting peak flow data from the early 1930s to late 1980s. This data for the region is presented tables, maps and graphs, and provides examples of estimating peak flows for ungauged basins using this information.

Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an...

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...

This .zip file will provide row and path number for the imagery of interest. Provided in Georeferenced TIFF format, projection WGS84.

WWF has completed the first Canada-wide assessment of the country’s watersheds, focusing on four indicators of river health and seven key threats. The resources below link to the WWF Watershed Reports at a national level and provide access to the detailed...

This report provides general history of the Skeena River commercial salmon fishery from 1877 to 1948. The changes in fishing areas, seasons and fishing methods are described, together with the trends in the catches obtained.

The purpose of this study is to determine selective properties of nylon gillnet presently utilized in the Skeena river gillnet fishery, to relate selective properties and relative efficiency of nylon gear with linen gillnets, and to define the selective...

This paper is concerned with a detailed analysis of the data obtained during the 1948 oceanographic survey of Chatham Sound that was to determine whether there was any obvious characteristic of the water in the region which could be correlated with the...

This report covers the Skeena region and contains summary data and datasheets, graphical procedures used to derive hydrological subzones, and procedures for estimating streamflow at ungauged watersheds. Report published June 2001.

This report is intended to improve the ability of the proponents of major projects (e.g., mines, run-of-river power projects) and the responsible regulatory agencies to address the potential impacts to the project resulting from streamflow regime changes....

Fish Observation Data from GeoBC (October 2016) that is clipped to the Skeena Watershed.

This report provides a chronological summary of a number of multi-faceted observer/monitoring programs that were conducted in the commercial approach fisheries to the Skeena River (primarily gillnet and seine fisheries in Areas 3 and 4) spanning the last...

This study provides a listing of individual stocks and their status classification for the entire Skeena system.

This paper examines the available information, on size of catch in the parent year and the contribution of progeny of that year to commercial catch, in more detail and to characterize the relationship, if any, between the abundant of spawners and the size...

Fish Observation Data from GeoBC (October 2016) that is clipped to the Skeena Watershed.

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 Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted hydroacoustic surveys at five sockeye rearing lakes in the Skeena Watershed. The main objectives of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species composition at...

This paper provides a historical overview of the Skeena River sockeye.

A large sampling program was undertaken in 2009 by the Skeena Fisheries Commission to improve the genetic baseline information on Skeena River Chinook.

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...
