Orientation Differences Between Populations of Juvenile Sockeye Salmon
British Columbia's Babine Lake system has three populations of sockeye salmon smolts which travel different routes to the outlet on their seaward migration. The objective of this study was to determine if the directional preferences of these populations are... -
Adult and Juvenile Coho Salmon Enumeration and Coded-Wire Tag Recovery Analys...
Adult and juvenile coho migrations were monitored at Zolzap Creek, British Columbia, as part of the 2002-2003 Nisga'a Fisheries Program. The 2002 season is the eleventh year of continuous operation of the Zolzap Creek fences since 1992. This report includes... -
Update Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production from Babine Lake, British Colu...
Wood et al. (1998) provided the last formal assessment of sockeye production from Babine Lake using production data spanning the 1950-1996 return years (1950-1991 brood years). This update adds 14 more years to the data series (1950-2010 return years,... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
The status of the Nanika River Sockeye Rehabilitation Program 1960-1965
The Nanika River, which drains into Morice Lake, is the most valuable sockeye spawning stream in the Bulkley River system. The available data indicate that the pre-1954 escapements ranged within the general magnitude of 20,000 and 70,000 fish annually.... -
Steelhead Trout Productivity and Stream Carrying Capacity for Rivers of the S...
The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more... -
Research Document 2010/053: State of Fishery Resources of Pacific Marine Ecos...
This eleventh report of an annual series updates the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems. -
Research Document 2004/010: Production Relationships for Wild Skeena River So...
This paper outlines stock status for wild Skeena River sockeye salmon based on updated assessments of freshwater production in nursery lakes, available catch and escapement data, and modelled exploitation rates. -
Research Document 2001/098: Factors Limiting Juvenile Sockeye Production
This report presents summaries of data collected from 60 B.C sockeye nursery lakes between 1977 and 2000. Factors which constrain sockeye production in each lake and, where possible, make recommendations on the technique(s) most likely to increase stock... -
Preliminary Estimate of the Escapement of Summer Steelhead to the Nass River,...
Abundance estimates of the summer steelhead escapement to the Nass River was estimated with mark-recapture methods. The preliminary estimate was exploratory in nature and the primary objective of the marking and recovery of steelhead were marked with... -
Phenological Diversity of Salmon Smolt Migration Timing within a Large Watershed
This paper quantifies phenological diversity of out-migration timing among salmon populations within a large watershed and its implications for climate mismatches with marine zooplankton. Specifically, juvenile Sockeye Salmon were sampled throughout the... -
Nass River Steelhead Habitat Capability Production Model and Preliminary Esca...
This report describes a habitat-based steelhead production model for the Nass watershed and presents the results for 63 sub-basin watersheds of 3rd order size or greater (1:20,000 mapping). The primary objective was to develop a habitat-based method for... -
Mean Smolt Age Estimation and Under-Aging Bias of Nass River Steelhead Popula...
In the Nass River watershed, juvenile and adult steelhead scales were collected to summarize the mean smolt ages for major summer and winter steelhead populations, and to investigate the lack of the first-year annulus formation which results in under-aging... -
Evaluation of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Production from the Babine ...
Babine Lake Development Project (BLDP) intended to increase the number of sockeye salmon fry rearing in the main basin of Babine lake along with adult returns and commercial catch. This paper takes a look at the BLDP and reviews its effects and... -
Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Research Document Series
This series documents the scientific basis for the evaluation of aquatic resources and ecosystems in Canada. -
Babine River Coho Beach Seining Program
Commencing in 1998, Babine River coho fry were strategically enhanced by conducting fry and smolt releases. A survival comparison of the fry versus smolt releases was intended to determine if fry releases into the Babine system could be used to increase the... -
Assessment of Sockeye Salmon Production in Babine Lake, British Columbia with...
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of sockeye production from the Babine-Nilkitkwa system in that it brings together, for the first time in many years, recently compiled information on trends in spawning escapements by run timing group, fry... -
Assessment of Freshwater Production of Sockeye Salmon in Babine Lake
This paper is intended as the first step towards a comprehensive assessment of the status of Babine Lake sockeye salmon. The primary objective of this paper is to assess the status of freshwater production of salmon in Babine lake and to provide corrected... -
An Attempt to Capture Migrating Sockeye at Morice Lake, June, 1956
This report describes the results of an attempt to capture migrating sockeye at Morice lake during a six day period between June 21-27, 1956. Only one sockeye was caught and classified tentatively as a yearling fish, the catches consisted for the most part... -
