Lakelse Lake Limnology and Juvenile Fish Ecology: 2003 Update
In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion... -
Chemical, Biological and Physical Characteristics of Lakelse Lake
The chemical, biological and physical characteristics of Lakelse Lake, B.C., were investigated during 1974-1975. This report also summarizes relevant fisheries - limnological information published on this watershed. The survey was initiated to help resolve... -
Water Quality in the Toboggan Creek Watershed 1996-1998: Are Land Use Activit...
FO Habitat and Enhancement Branch initiated water quality monitoring in Toboggan Creek watershed in early 1996. Toboggan Creek is an important nursery stream for both wild and hatchery fish, primarily coho, pink, steelhead and Dolly Varden, with smaller... -
Water Quality Sampling for the 2001 Spring Runoff in the Bulkley Valley
The objective of the sampling program was to gather information on the water quality of specific streams during the spring runoff period, and from that information, determine which areas may require a more comprehensive sampling and inspection program. -

This report documents the results of sampling conducted throughout the Skeena River watershed between 10 August and 2 September, 1996. Summary information is presented for physical and chemical characteristics of habitat as well as various estimates of... -
Trophic Status and Rearing Capacity of Smaller Sockeye Nursery Lakes in the S...
This report attempts to predict rearing capacity and optimum escapements for ten non-Babine study lakes around the Skeena River. Its main objectives are recognizing the status of juvenile stocks and trophic status of the ten lakes, along with potential... -
Babine Watershed Change Program: Annual Report for 1972
A summary of the studies regarding the Babine Watershed Change Program, with topics ranging from discussion of industrial activities to fisheries and disease outbreaks. -
Assessment of the Limnological status and Productive Capacity of Babine Lake
The objectives of this study are determining Babine Lake's current trophic status, plankton community structure, and biomass, and to estimate its current rearing capacity for juvenile sockeye. Furthermore, the study also checks for detectable limnological... -
