Portions of the Fulton River watershed, and a series of inlet streams to the west shore of Babine Lake between the Fulton River and Newman Island were surveyed in July 1997, June 1999, July— August 2000, and July — August 2001 to assess fish habitat characteristics and to investigate the diversity, population characteristics and distribution of fish. SKR Consultants Ltd. was retained by Houston Forest Products Co. (Houston, B.C.) to conduct these surveys. The project was jointly funded by Forest Renewal B.C. (FRBC) and Houston Forest Products Co. (HFP),and is a continuation of reconnaissance level fish and fish habitat inventories initiated in 1999(SKR 2000). This report summarizes results obtained from the reconnaissance level stream inventory project conducted on streams within the Fulton River watershed, and selected Babine Lake inlet streams.
