Skeena Salmon
Data Centre

Steelhead studies were conducted in the upper Sustut River. The objectives of the studies were to determine the time of arrival, abundance, and migration behaviour of steelhead and to assess the upper Sustut River's suitability as an index stream for upper...

During the spring and summer of 1976, two investigations funded through the salmonid enhancement program were conducted on the steelhead trout of the Kispiox River. The first project, commencing in April and ending in August, was designed to document the...

Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery.

During 1974, Environment Canada undertook an additional study of the watershed adjacent to Equity Mining Capital Ltd.'s proposed development near Goosly Lake to supplement water quality baselines established in 1973. Chemistry analysis and 96 hour LC50...

This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock...

This report summarizes age, size, and sex for the steelhead sampled at Tyee in four years (1973 - 1976) of test fishing. Comparisons are made with similar information on specific stocks in the Skeena, Kispiox, and Babine Rivers.

A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

A creel census was conducted on the Morice River steelhead fishery during Autumn, 1976. The objectives of the study were two-fold: to collect detailed information on angler origin, angler distribution in the fishery, effort, success, and tackle preferences,...

This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"...

A preliminary study of the juvenile salmonid populations of the Upper Kalum River and its tributaries was conducted during August 1976. The objectives of the study were: to locate and describe the preferred rearing habitat of juvenile salmonids in the Kalum...

This report documents the results of a juvenile rainbow trout abundance study in the Sutherland system conducted in September 2008 by the BC Ministry of Environment. The primary objective of the study was to investigate potential changes in the population's...

Seymour Lake was surveyed in August, 1958 for information regarding its physical qualities and the life it supports.

The project objectives for Maxan creek were to remove the Strimbold Bridge that is impacting fish habitat and likely a barrier to fish passage at some flows, and may pose an environmental risk if washed downstream due to flood event.

This report summarizes the Pacific Northern Gas Looping Project by describing the project, areas of federal interest, the resource and material requirements, indigenous engagement, public engagement, project setting, and potential project effects.

The objectives of this plan are three-fold. First, the plan describes the methods that will be used to quantify the amount of compensatory fish habitat needed to offset the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) resulting from the Project....

Test fishing at Tyee was conducted by Fisheries and Marine Service from the first week in June until the last week in August, using standardized drift gillnet sets to monitor the timing and abundance of salmon.

The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,...

This report summarizes the salmon-bearing regions that would be intersected by the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. It analyzes the potential effects of pipeline spills and development to spawning and rearing grounds and to migration.

These reports study the sport fishery for cutthroat trout in the Lakelse watershed. They include a description of the study area, the resident species, angler effort and success, angler distribution, and cutthroat trout life history.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C.
