Fisheries Research Board of Canada: Manuscript Reports of the Biological Station
Since 1950, creel census studies have been conducted as a part of the program of sockeye salmon research at Lakelse. To gain a greater understanding of the cut-throat population and its relationship to the survival of young sockeye pertinent information was... -
Technical Reports
FRB Technical Reports are research documents that are of sufficient importance to be preserved, but which for some reason are not appropriate for scientific publication. -
Stomach Contents of Juvenile Pacific Salmon in Chatham Sound and Adjacent Waters
The focus of this study examines the diet of young salmon in Chatham Sound and adjacent waters. -
Spawning Stock Size and Resultant Production for Skeena Sockeye
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... -
Skeena River Sockeye Escapement and Distribution
This report presents the various methods employed for determining the escapements to each known spawning area, the spawning estimates made for the years 1944 to 1948, and maps of the sockeye distribution in the Skeena watershed. -
Scale Characteristics of Sockeye Salmon Originating from Small Nursery Areas ...
The objective of this study has been to assemble the data available concerning the scale characteristics of sockeye salmon spawning in a series of isolated locations within the Skeena River system (1945-1966), with a view to their possible use in describing... -
Research Programs Concerned with Methods of Increasing Salmon Populations
In 1966 the Director of the Nanaimo Biological Station was requested by the Fisheries Research Board to prepare a report on research required to provide a basis for the enhancement of the salmon resource. This report summarizes the state of knowledge... -
Morice Lake Data Memorandum 1980
This data includes tow net catches of sockeye juveniles in Morice lake, 1961-65; estimated abundance of sockeye juveniles in Morice Lake in August, 1962-65; maps showing tow net sampling stations before and after May 7, 1963; a map showing limnology... -
Maternal Influences on the Age at Maturity of Skeena River Sockeye Salmon (On...
The purpose of these studies was to examine maternal influences on age at maturity of Skeena River sockeye salmon which, when considered along with several other correlated phenomena, lead to an hypothesis of alternation of generations. -
Manuscript Report Series No.390: Purse Seine Catches of Sockeye Salmon and Ot...
This report provides details of the catches of marked and unmarked sockeye and incidental catches of other species made in the course of the Babine Lake recovery program. -
Manuscript Report Series No.1189: Purse Seine Catches of Sockeye Salmon and O...
This report gives details of the catches of sockeye and other species of fish made in the course of fishing to recover marked sockeye during the spring, summer and fall after their entry into the lake beginning in 1971. -
Manuscript Report Series No.1075: Purse Seine Catches of Sockeye Salmon and O...
This report deals with the catches of sockeye and other species of fish made in the course of fishing for marked sockeye during the spring, summer and fall after their entry into the Babine Lake (1966-1968). -
Manuscript Report Series No. 961: Background Information on Management of the...
The report is a short review of recent events and assesses current trends of the Skeena sockeye situation. -
Manuscript Report Series No. 943: Age Composition of 1996 B.C. Sockeye, Chum,...
This report is concerned with the results of age composition sampling sockeye, pink and chum salmon catches in 1966. -
Factors in the Population Biology of the Sockeye in the Skeena
The purpose of this paper is to examine these features of the population biology of Skeena River sockeye, to indicate factors that may have contributed to influencing the population changes, and to assess with a computer simulation, whether a synthesis of... -
Analysis of Ultrasonic Tracking Records of Adult Sockeye Salmon Migration in ...
Migratory pathways of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) on their way to the spawning grounds in Babine Lake were monitored by ultrasonic tracking techniques in 1969 and 1970. This report presents procedures and computer programs used for processing... -
Timing of Babine Lake Sockeye Salmon Stocks in the North-coast Commercial Fis...
Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning grounds (see Takagi and Smith MS 1973 for a summary). However, mixing with other... -
The Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry (Oncorhynchus nerka) at Fulton River and Pi...
The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making fuller use of its potential as a nursery area (Dep. Fish 1965; McDonald 1969).... -
Sockeye Salmon Migration in Babine River and Lake as Indicated By Tagging at ...
A second objective in tagging sockeye salmon as they passed through the Babine fence into Nilkitkwa and Babine Lakes was to procure information on the quality and speed of migration through the lakes to the spawning tributaries and to determine whether... -
The Trapping and Marking of Sockeye Salmon Fry at Fulton River, Babine Lake B.C.
A comparative study of the distribution, growth, and survival of sockeye salmon fry resulting from the same parental stocks, but reared in natural and artificial conditions began in 1966 (McDonald 1969). Fry produced from natural spawning in the Fulton...
