A record for the proposal of the Lakelse Lake egg capsule incubation study. It is believed that poor stream habitats is the leading cause of the rapid decline to Lakelse Lake sockeye populations. With support from the Lakelse Lake Sockeye Recovery Team and...

The following material describes a creel survey conducted during April-October, 1986 on Lakelse Lake as part of a Canada Employment and Immigration sponsored employment opportunity program (Modified Industrial Labour Adjustment Program or "MILAP"). T h e...

The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"...

This report provides basic information on production capabilities for cutthroat trout in streams tributary to Lakelse Lake and to thereby identify enhancement opportunities available to lake cutthroat populations in 1983-1984.

This layer describes estimated locations of industrial work camps derived from the BC OGC Associated and Ancillary Areas, TANTALIS Crown Tenures, Forest Tenure Special Use Permit, Water Rights Licences, and Northern Health Industrial Camps Facilities...

This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in Lakelse Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This includes aquatic vegetation, terrain features, food species, natural spawning and...

The projects in this report are planning exercises based upon the simple thesis, “If you want this specific value in 50 years (be it swimming or water quality or grizzly bears), these are the requirements for that value which must be in place in order for...

Upper Bulkley fish and aquatic review: stream flow, surface water licenses and groundwater wells. 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...

The Bulkley River and its major tributary, Morice River, support one of the most intense steelhead trout fisheries in British Columbia. Recent mailed questionnaire surveys of steelhead anglers have shown that the Bulkley-Morice system ranked second in...

An eight foot diameter rotary screw trap was purchased by B.C. Environment Fisheries Branch. This dataset contains the assessment of the strength and timing of the little Bulkley River summer steelhead smolt emigration in 1993.

Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a...

The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

This report reviews existing water, fisheries, and land-use related information for the Lakelse River watershed, considered for Fisheries Sensitive Watershed designation. This review is to determine if significant fish values occur in the watershed, and if...

This report summarizes the results of the overwintering study from November 1998 to April 1999. The objectives of the interim report are to: determine which indicators are feasible and suitable in determining overwintering habitat quality; identify...

A brief summary and visual results to natural resources and perks in Lakelse Lake.

This report shows the results from various analyses such as Boat Limit Method, Shoreline Development Method, Chlorophyll-a Limiting Method, Morpheodaphic and Other Parameters Method to assess the capacity of Lakelse Lake for development.

Management prescriptions for specific waters have been identified. In most situations, these have or will be incorporated into the production program. The immediate future of the stock assessment program should include fine tuning of the production model,...

The purpose of this regional planning statement is to provide long term direction for fisheries management in the Skeena region. This is accomplished through analysis of fish production, fishery utilization and management strategies over the next 10 to 20...
