Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluations arose out of the Forest and Range Practices Act as a way of measuring the effectiveness of the Act in accomplishing its forest stewardship objectives. The field procedure for Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluation...

This report outlines the unaddressed issues that remain after the mitigation proposal presented by Petronas for a suspension bridge over Flora Bank.

Land use activities have had a significant impact on many of the tributaries within the central Bulkley River watershed. Preliminary air photo analysis has indicated that high value fish habitat has been moderately to severely impacted in a large proportion...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for more information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition of these lakes. The intent of this project was to survey fish...

FO Habitat and Enhancement Branch initiated water quality monitoring in Toboggan Creek watershed in early 1996. Toboggan Creek is an important nursery stream for both wild and hatchery fish, primarily coho, pink, steelhead and Dolly Varden, with smaller...

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further...

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 Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an...

Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver...

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....

The research outlined in this report answers questions relating to the estuarine environment and ecology of the Skeena River estuary, with a focus on juvenile salmon. Additionally, it includes information on the estuarine fish community, crab ecology, and...

This document presents the available salmonid resource information as well as the status of development activity and physiographic conditions within the Skeena River basin portion of the Fort St. James Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP) area. This...

The objective of this study was to quantify juvenile steelhead abundance and estimate values for habitat capacity thresholds. In 2005, the Ministry of Environment (MoE) began investigating the potential of using the Kloiya as an index stream for monitoring...

This survey observed many beaver dams and discusses the need for rehabilitation for Seymour Lake.

The purpose of this report is to outline results of the 1983 steelhead fry recruitment monitoring program in the upper Bulkley system. The conclusion is that a larger fry population existed in 1983 than in 1981 or 1982. This data will serve as valuable...

Forest Renewal BC is implementing fish and fish habitat inventories to provide information required for resource planning. Triton's goals were to describe fish distributions and habitat characteristics, and to provide stream classifications according to the...

This inventory provides information regarding the characteristics, distributions, and relative abundance of fish species, as well as information on biophysical lake and stream data. This information can be used for the interpretation of habitat sensitivity...

The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several watersheds within the Bulkley River (BULK) watershed group. These inventories have a multi-phased approach with six phases required to...

The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several drainages within the Babine Lake watershed group. This is a continuation of a multi-year FRBC project commenced in 1996 for the Babine Forest...
