Skeena Salmon
Data Centre

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...

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...

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,...

This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"...

This report documents the results of a juvenile rainbow trout abundance study in the Sutherland system conducted in September 2008 by the BC Ministry of Environment. The primary objective of the study was to investigate potential changes in the population's...

The primary purpose of the project was to provide accurate data about coho salmon which return to the Upper Bulkley to spawn. Information about Upper Bulkley returns previously indicated a dangerously low level of returning fish.

The project was designed to capture wild juveniles of these species during or before their seaward migration, and mark them by inserting a coded wire tag in their snout and removing the adipose fin. The marked fish would then be released. In this manner,...

This report summarizes the salmon-bearing regions that would be intersected by the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. It analyzes the potential effects of pipeline spills and development to spawning and rearing grounds and to migration.

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...

This study had the following objectives: provide a source upon which the habitat protection section of the fish and wildlife branch could base protection guidelines, provide Northwood with an assessment of fishery values and related habitat which would be...

The prime purpose for this study was to determine if the number of steelhead kelts caught in a tidal gill net sockeye salmon fishery could be reduced. Subsequently, the objectives were expanded to generate information on steelhead population size, patterns...

This operational plan is the initial product of a partnership between the Office of the Wet’suwet’en and the Province of British Columbia to develop a water monitoring and assessment system for the recently established Morice Water Management Area (MWMA).

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 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...

This project was implemented to assess fish passage at culvert-bearing stream crossings. These assessments were carried out at culvert crossings installed on fish-bearing streams on roads primarily constructed prior to the implementation of the Forest...

This report summarizes the results of the stream assessments, which were completed between July 14 and October 22, 2008. All evaluated drainages are within the Babine Lake (BABL), Babine River (BABR), Bulkley River (BULK), Francois Lake (FRAN), Morice River...

The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several drainages in the Bulkley River watershed. This included portions of the Crow and Maxan Creek watersheds in addition to three small...

This one-page report contains information regarding stream identification, spawning data, and the physical condition of spawning grounds in Buck Creek.

This stream survey evaluates Maxan Creek. Elements included are the location, physical characteristics, and water quality of the creek, the species present, and the surrounding anthropogenic activities.

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...
