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...

Juvenile sockeye migration routes and habitat use were explored in this study by examining the abundance of sockeye smolts, the timing of collections, the size of smolts and their diet, and by using microsatellite DNA analysis and mixed stock assignment...

This submission from the Office of the Wet'suwet'en (OW) to the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) is a response to the CEAA report regarding the proposed Pacific NorthWest LNG project near LeLu Island.

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....

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...

For the past ten years the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) have been collecting information on adult and juvenile sockeye and coho in Slamgeesh Lake in the northern part of the Skeena watershed.

This eleventh report of an annual series updates the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems.

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.

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...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate microsatellite genetic differentiation between lake-type and riverine populations within the same river drainage, among riverine populations in the same drainage, and among riverine populations in different...

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...

This document presents an assessment of the status of coho salmon (Onchorhynchus kisutch) in the Canadian northern boundary areas with emphasis on the Skeena River. The content of this assessment has largely been drawn from published assessments. There are...

Presentation on the juvenile salmon monitoring program 2014 field season update.

This report determines the timing of sockeye, spring and coho migration leaving Morice Lake, the population size of sockeye smolts leaving Morice Lake, and the length weight, age and scale characteristics of the sockeye migrants.

The report is a short review of recent events and assesses current trends of the Skeena sockeye situation.

The purposes of this report are to review the development of the management of Skeena sockeye, to describe the current process of managing the Skeena sockeye fishery with emphasis on objective setting and in-season decision making, and to recommend...

The purpose of this paper is to examine institutional learning in on particular circumstance, the construction, operation, and management of artificial spawning channels for sockeye salmon in B.C.

This report summarizes background fisheries information available for the Morrison Watershed. It focuses on Morrison Creek, Morrison Lake, and its inlet tributaries, with the objective of providing an overview of the fisheries resources of the entire...

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...

This series documents the scientific basis for the evaluation of fisheries resources in Canada. As such, it addresses the issues of the day in the time frames required and the documents it contains are not intended as definitive statements on the subjects...
