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,...

The study area is located in the Bulkley River drainage (watershed code 460) of the Skeena River watershed in north-central British Columbia (Figure 1). Selected streams in the area were inventoried for stream classification under the Forest Practices Code...

The major emphasis of the study was to provide a broad-based aquatic inventory at an operational and landscape level to facilitate planning for forest development that minimizes impacts on the aquatic resources of the watershed. Emphasis was placed on...

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...

In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals...

The report presents the results of a reconnaissance level “Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory” of West Julian Holland Lake 460-6006-508-005-283-218-502-01 performed to the current standards provided by the Resources Inventory Committee (RIC). West Julian...

The goal of this project is to examine the status of riparian forest ecosystems adjacent to fish-bearing and non-fish-bearing streams in the Nichyeskwa Creek watershed. The project estimates the disturbance frequency in natural riparian forests along...

In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a...

The Gosnell Creek watershed is a pristine wilderness area which has high fisheries and wildlife values. It has been recognized by several government agencies as a unique area and this has resulted in the creation of a planning format called the Gosnell...

This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention....

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

An assessment of discharge regulation, aquatic monitoring, and aquatic impacts related to Bell and Granisle Mines.

The main objectives of this project were: to conduct a literature review of inventory activities previously conducted in the area; to conduct stream classification in accordance with guidelines in the Fish- stream Identification guidebook (FPC); to...

B.C.'s Watershed Restoration Program (WRP) was implemented under the Province's Forest Renewal Plan in mid-1994 in response to a historical lack of mechanisms for ensuring rehabilitation of logging-impacted hill slopes, riparian areas, and streams.

This document contains a detailed fish habitat, riparian, and channel assessment of Dahlie Creek. Low channel complexity, removal of riparian vegetation, culvert obstructions to fish passage, sedimentation, altered flow regime, and channelization were some...

The 1996 harvest was unprecedented in a number of ways. It was the first time that all three nations in the Skeena watershed have worked together on such a huge scale. It was the largest harvest undertaken on Babine Lake in modern times in terms of the...

This study aims to determine the extent of distribution of coho salmon usage and distribution in tributaries to Babine Lake, along with the ability of the tributaries to produce salmon.

This investigation aims to document the quantity and quality of suitable lake spawning habitat, determine if and where surplus sockeye spawn along with lake margin, and assess whether the anecdotal records of lake spawning by non-surplus sockeye are plausable.

This investigation aims to characterize and map the shallow water nearshore habitat of Babine Lake and assess the value of this habitat for spawning sockeye and egg survival.

The objectives of this study are determining Babine Lake's current trophic status, plankton community structure, and biomass, and to estimate its current rearing capacity for juvenile sockeye. Furthermore, the study also checks for detectable limnological...
