Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review: Summary of Data, Methodology, Results, and Thresholds for Pressure Indicators Representing Key Salmon Freshwater Habitat Quantity

The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and Total Land Cover Alteration. Quantity Indicators include Accessible Stream Length. Stream Crossing Density is also included in the analyses but is not an indicator under the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. This report provides an overview of key salmon habitat and accessible stream length. Total key salmon habitat consists of streams (or portions of) where salmon presence has been observed and recorded by provincial, federal, and local resource professionals. Total accessible stream length (ASL) consists of streams (or portions of) where resident and anadromous fish presence has been observed or is inferred based on gradient and fish passage. The analysis results are broken down by ASL – observed (fish presence) and ASL – inferred (fish presence).
