Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Effects of host migration, diversity and aquaculture on sea lice threats to P...
This journal reports and discusses the results that characterize parasite threats of salmon aquaculture to wild salmon populations and show how host migration and diversity are important factors affecting parasite transmission in the oceans. -
Assessing Estuaries as Stopover Habitats for Juvenile Pacific Salmon
Habitats along migratory routes may provide key resources for migratory species (e.g. stopover habitat). For example, migratory juvenile salmon transit through estuaries on their way from freshwaters out to the ocean, but they may also reside and feed in... -
2007 DNA Collection Report
In 2003 the Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) initiated a project to collect genetic (tissue) samples for DNA analysis from chum and pink salmon in selected streams throughout the Gitxsan territories. Chum DNA collection continued in 2004 where the... -
Watershed Status Evaluation: An Assessment of 71 Watersheds Meeting BC's Fish...
This pilot project used the WSE Tier I GIS-based methods described in Porter et al. (2013) to assess the watershed indicator “risk” status of 71 watersheds across most of British Columbia’s natural resource regions. Measured values for as many as nine... -
Water Temperature, River Discharge, and Adult Sockeye Salmon Migration Observ...
Water temperature, river discharge, and adult sockeye salmon migration observations in the Babine watershed, 1946-2014. Historical meteorological and hydrological data were assembled to review the influence of changes in these environmental factors on... -
Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review Summary of Data, Methodology, Threshold...
The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and... -
The Return of Sockeye Salmon Marked at Babine and Lakelse Lakes
The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"... -
The Environmental Implications of Sediment Transport in the Waters of Prince ...
The Environmental Implications of Sediment Transport in the Waters of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada: A Comparison Between Kinematic and Dynamic Approaches. A Sediment Trend Analysis (STA) was performed on 2474 grain-size distributions taken from... -
Sustaining Lakelse Lake
A brief summary and visual results to natural resources and perks in Lakelse Lake. -
Survival Rates of Fry Released in the Headwaters of the Suskwa and Zymoetz Ri...
In order to assess the effectiveness of the Skeena fry stocking program, information of marked recaptures was examined. Sizeable returns of marked steelhead adults are not expected until 1990, but sparse data from early pilot projects was examined as a... -
Streamflow in the Skeena Region
This report covers the Skeena region and contains summary data and datasheets, graphical procedures used to derive hydrological subzones, and procedures for estimating streamflow at ungauged watersheds. Report published June 2001. -
Streamflow Trends in the Skeena Region
This report is intended to improve the ability of the proponents of major projects (e.g., mines, run-of-river power projects) and the responsible regulatory agencies to address the potential impacts to the project resulting from streamflow regime changes.... -
Stock-specific distribution of juvenile Chinook salmon in the Skeena River
The survey was conducted on microsatellite variation at 12 loci in approximately 1,360 juvenile Chinook salmon in the Skeena River drainage in northwestern British Columbia; this variation was used to estimate stock composition at five discrete geographic... -
Sockeye Creel Study Skeena River 2011
The Skeena Watershed is the second largest sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) producing watershed in British Columbia. Sockeye recreational fishing on the Skeena River and the Babine system has become increasingly popular since the fishery was opened in... -
Sediment Dispersion in Salmon Spawning Streams: The Influence of Floods and S...
The geomorphic relationships among forest practices, sediment transport, and aquatic habitat have been the focus of a large number of studies in the Pacific Northwest. Many studies have sought to understand the impacts of sedimentary disturbances, such as... -
Sea Lice Transfer between Wild Sympatric Adult and Juvenile Salmon on the Nor...
In order to determine the levels of abundance between juvenile and adult salmon, the researchers examine sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis, on both groups of salmon from the north coast of British Columbia between 2004 and 2006 in an area that does not at... -
Review of the Escapement of Adult Steelhead to the Upper Sustut River
This report reveals the enumeration of the upper Sustut River steelhead population, which has provided fisheries managers with yearly population index values and time series data to help determine the relative abundance and population trends of early run... -
Project Outline - Lakelse Cutthroat Trout Enhancement Opportunity
A letter from W.E. Chudyk to the Ministry of Environment regarding the project outline for Lakelse Lake cutthroat trout enhancement opportunities. This project is geared to provide basic information on production capabilities for cutthroat trout in stream... -
Movements of Summer Run Steelhead Trout Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the...
Radio telemetry was used to determine spawning locations of wild adult summer run steelhead in the Zymoetz River. Conventional angling methods were used to capture adult steelhead in the river during the Spring, prior to spawning. Radio transmitters were...
