Assessment of Steelhead Enhancement Opportunities in the Morice River System
Juvenile salmonid populations in two tributary streams to the Morice River system, Owen and Lamprey Creeks, were assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in the fall of 1980. Objectives were directed at steelhead enhancement opportunities in the two... -
Assessment of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon Populations of Babine Lake
This study aims to find evidence of changes in the abundance of sockeye relative to spawning numbers, and evidence of the dispersal and subsequent distribution of juveniles in the lake to determine the extent to which the available lake nursery area is... -
Assessment of Benthic Invertebrate and Juvenile Fish Populations in Foxy and ...
Field studies assessing fish and benthic invertebrate populations in Foxy Creek, a small stream located in north central British Columbia near Houston, were undertaken in late August and September 1984. As well, benthic invertebrate populations were... -

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. -
Abundance, age, size, sex and coded wire tag recoveries for chinook salmon es...
A key streams program was initiated in 1984 by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to monitor the success of management actions in several important chinook producing streams throughout British Columbia. The objectives of the key streams program are: 1)... -
A Survey of Morice River Steelhead Anglers in 2004
Morice River steelhead anglers were surveyed during the 2004 Classified Waters Period using a combination of interviews and aerial counts. During the early Classified Waters Period, fishing was restricted to fly fishing only above Lamprey Creek, and the... -
A Survey of Kispiox River Steelhead Anglers in 2001
