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...

This report provides a chronological summary of a number of multi-faceted observer/monitoring programs that were conducted in the commercial approach fisheries to the Skeena River (primarily gillnet and seine fisheries in Areas 3 and 4) spanning the last...

This study provides a listing of individual stocks and their status classification for the entire Skeena system.

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.

Key points on population and habitat of Skeena salmon conservation units.

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...

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...

Radio tagging studies were carried out in the Skeena drainage in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. During the fall of 1978, 24 steelhead were radio tagged on the Morice River, 15 on the Kispiox River, 14 on the...

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...

This study evaluates the population structure of Sockeye Salmon in the Skeena River by surveying variations at 14 microsatellites, and also assessed the utility of the microsatellites for identification of the timing of return of Sockeye Salmon populations...

This thesis presents evidence that traditional systems of salmon production were generally coincident with seasonal migrations of adult salmon returning from marine environments to fresh water spawning grounds. This characteristic movement of salmon biomass...

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...

The Morice River, located in West-central British Columbia, is one of several Skeena River tributaries that support a late summer and fall sport fishery for steelhead trout. In response to declining angler success on the Morice over the past decade, an...

This Technical Data Report (TDR) presents information on existing conditions for marine fish and fish habitats within local and regional assessment areas. The purpose of the TDR is to support the Project’s Application for an Environmental Assessment...

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...

This report estimates the marine interception of Skeena River sockeye salmon stocks in Northern Boundary fisheries.

Summary of the numbers of salmon spawning and run timing for the Upper Bulkley-Morice from 1958-1968.

The purpose of this paper is to examine these features of the population biology of Skeena River sockeye, to indicate factors that may have contributed to influencing the population changes, and to assess with a computer simulation, whether a synthesis of...

This report summarizes the results of the investigations on the rock slide of 1951 on Babine River and the following salmon runs of 1951 and 1951.

This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply...
