Limnological and Limnetic Fish Surveys of North Coast Area Lakes in 2005
This report summarizes findings from our 2005 surveys of 7 North Coast Area lakes. Limnological surveys were carried out on 5 of the lakes in order to obtain a first estimate of the lakes' trophic status, juvenile sockeye rearing capacity, and factors... -
Chemical, Biological and Physical Characteristics of Lakelse Lake
The chemical, biological and physical characteristics of Lakelse Lake, B.C., were investigated during 1974-1975. This report also summarizes relevant fisheries - limnological information published on this watershed. The survey was initiated to help resolve... -
Canadian Technical Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences
Technical reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which is not normally appropriate for primary literature. Technical reports are directed primarily toward a worldwide audience and have an... -
Upper Bulkley River and Toboggan Creek Overwintering Studies
An overwintering study was conducted over three winters (November 1998 to March 2001) in the Upper Bulkley and Toboggan Creek watersheds in north-central British Columbia. The study area includes the lower portion of the Upper Bulkley watershed upstream of... -
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 Age, Size, and Sex Composition of Sockeye in the Escapements to Shculbuck...
For many years, estimates of the abundance of the spawning stock of sockeye salmon to Lakelse Lake have been made and recorded in the Confidential Annual Reports of the Fisheries Research Board, Biological Station, Nanaimo. During the years 1944-1956 and... -
Skeena Sockeye Sub-Stock Run-Timing and Abundance Evaluated Using Tyee Fisher...
This memo provides estimates of Skeena sockeye sub-stock timing and abundance entering Area 3⁄4 estimated using genetic (mDNA) samples collected from the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery from 2000-2010. The genetic samples represent proportionate daily catch... -
Skeena Salmon Test Fishery 1987
Information relating to the Skeena River gillnet test fishery program for 1987 and a summary for the years 1955 to 1976 is presented in this report. Daily catch of all salmon species (Oncorhynchus~) and steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri) are detailed by set... -
Provisional Estimates of Numbers and Biomass for Natural-Origin and Hatchery-...
This report provides provisional abundance estimates for pink, chum, and sockeye salmon in major regions of the North Pacific from 1952 through 2015 in terms of: numbers of natural- origin and hatchery-origin salmon returns (i.e., catch plus escapement),... -
History of Gill Net Catches in Tyhee Lake
History of gill net catches in Tyhee Lake from 1968 to 1992 and stocking history from 1955 to 1992. -
Estimation of Stock Composition and Individual Identification of Sockeye Salm...
In the current study, we evaluate the utility of using the variation at 14 microsatellite loci and one MHC locus for lake-specific identification of sockeye salmon over its natural range. This evaluation is conducted by examining the accuracy and precision... -
Catalogue of Salmon Streams and Spawning Escapements of Statistical Area 4 (U...
This resource from Ecocat is a catalogue containing each stream's location, spawning distribution, barriers and points of difficult ascent, escapement records, and other general data pertaining to the stream. The catalogue also includes a topographical map... -

Bulkley River Watershed Overwintering Study Reports
This dataset contains all of the overwintering studies in the Bulkley River watershed. This over-wintering monitoring was conducted to provide background data to assist Habitat Management staff and Resource Restoration staff in liaising with various... -
Application of Microsatellite DNA Variation to Estimation of Stock Compositio...
Microsatellite loci can be used to estimate spawning escapements of individual Pacific salmon populations returning to remote spawning locations throughout large river systems by analysis of appropriately weighted samples from test fisheries near the river... -
An Inventory of Thautil River and Tributaries
On two separate occasions, June 21 and July 16-18, 1978, the Thautil River Watershed was surveyed to assess its fish presence and diversity. Personnel from the Inventory Section, Fish and Wildlife Branch surveyed the Thautil River with particular emphasis... -
2001 Beach Seine Survey Project
The Beach Seine Survey project is a study of the juvenile salmonids distribution and their uses of the foreshore. Firstly, each site results were summarized individually by relating the incidence of each species over time. Secondly, impacted and... -
1999 Buck Creek Juvenile Salmonid Trapping Program
In the spring of 1999, the Community Futures Development Corporation of Nadina (CFDCN) was contracted by Barry Finnegan, Northern Coho Stock Assessment Biologist of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, to operate a Rotary Screw Trap (RST) on Buck Creek in the Upper... -
Reconstruction of the Total Return of Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) to ...
An assessment of the total return of sockeye salmon to the Skeena River is presented for brood years from 1965 to 1982. Annual reconstructions required catch and spawning escapement data. Age structure information was used to apportion the catch and... -
Zooplankton Abundance in Lakes Sampled by the 1978 British Columbia Lake Enri...
Zooplankton samples were collected from 14 lakes on the Central and North Coast and the Skeena and Nass systems. The purpose of the sampling was to collect data on zooplankton abundance and species composition from a fertilized lake (Long) and lakes being...
