Live Capture and Tagging of Skeena Chinook Feasibility Study
The Skeena River supports over 75 separate spawning populations of Chinook salmon. Four river systems, the Kitsumkalum, Morice, Kispiox and Bear Rivers account for approximately 70% of the total spawner abundance. Fisheries managers and stock assessment... -
Skeena & Nass Sockeye Lakes Hydroacoustic Surveys
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SKF) has conducted mobile hydroacoustic surveys in small lakes throughout the Skeena Watershed since 2005. The main objective of these surveys is to enumerate and sample the sockeye fry populations, and to estimate the species... -
Kispiox River Steelhead Trout: the 1975 Sport Fishery and Life History Characteristics from Anglers' Catches
During the months of September, October, and November of 1975, a creel survey and catch sampling program was conducted on the Kispiox River to gather information on the steelhead fishery including angler origin, effort, methods used, and success. Scale... -
Fisheries Problems Associated with the Development of Logging Plans within the Morice River Drainage System
This report has been prepared primarily to describe the fisheries problems associated with a large scale logging operation proposed for the system and to outline certain proposals which are considered necessary for the protection of the salmon resource of... -
Annual Compendium of Aquatic Rehabilitation Projects for the Watershed Restoration Program 1998-1999
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. -
Upper Zymoetz (Copper River) WRP Overview Fish and Riparian Assessment
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... -
Lakelse Lake Egg Capsule Incubation Study
A record for the proposal of the Lakelse Lake egg capsule incubation study. It is believed that poor stream habitats is the leading cause of the rapid decline to Lakelse Lake sockeye populations. With support from the Lakelse Lake Sockeye Recovery Team and... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -
Northwest Cumulative Effects Case Study
The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency... -
Sustut River Steelhead Investigations, 1986
The Sustut River, situated approximately 200 km north of Smithers, remains as the last major tributary of the Skeena to be investigated. It supports significant populations of summer steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha),... -
Skeena Salmon: Lake Sockeye Conservation Unit Snapshot: Lakelse
This habitat report card was developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena sockeye for migration, spawning, and rearing, as well as their relative... -
Upper Skeena and Kispiox River Juvenile Steelhead Surveys 1999
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... -
Results of the Kloiya River Resistivity Counter
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... -
Rates of Movement and Timing of Migrations of Steelhead Trout To and Within the Skeena River, 1988
Summer-run steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) returning to the Skeena River system were radio-tagged to determine their rates of movement through commercial salmon fisheries near the river mouth. The run timing of individual spawning population was also... -
Fish Passage Assessment of Kispiox Forestry Road Stream Crossing
The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage assessments conducted at Kispiox forestry road stream crossings. The Kispiox fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish... -
Suskwa River Steelhead: Colonization of the Upper Harold Price with Steelhead Fry
Since 1978, the Fish and Wildlife Branch has been conducting a steelhead enhancement project to colonize Harold Price Creek above the Harold Price Falls with steelhead fry. This project was designed to increase the number of adult steelhead returning to the... -
Some Notes on the Habits and Habitat of Steelhead Trout in the Kispiox River with Particular Reference to Cullon Creek
During the spring and summer of 1976, two investigations funded through the salmonid enhancement program were conducted on the steelhead trout of the Kispiox River. The first project, commencing in April and ending in August, was designed to document the... -
Fine-Scaled Population Genetic Structure and Dispersal of Juvenile Steelhead in the Bulkley-Morice River, British Columbia
This study used microsatellite markers to characterize fine-scale population structures among populations of juvenile steelhead from tributaries of the Bulkley-Morice River. It applied genotype assignment procedures, similar to those used in genetic stock... -
Morice River Stream Survey August 1975
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,... -
