Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an... -
An Upstream Battle: Declines in 10 Pacific Salmon Stocks and Solutions for th...
This report profiles the current status and trends of 10 examples of salmon stocks in British Columbia that are considered to be in a severe state of decline. (There are many others.) These stocks were selected because they are geographically located within... -
Alaskan Interceptions of BC Salmon: State of Knowledge Report Series Summary
Alaskan fisheries in Southeast Alaska (SEAK) intercept salmon returning to British Columbia (BC) rivers. Given the current depressed status of many BC wild salmon populations, and in the context of changing marine and freshwater environments due to climate... -
Value of the Fisheries Resources in the Bulkley River System
The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing... -
