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... -
Assessment of Sockeye Fry Passage at the Babine River Adult Salmon Counting Fence
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate whether the Babine River Counting Fence prevented sockeye fry that drifted downstream of the structure from... -
Babine Lake Sockeye Smolt Enumeration - Hydroacoustic Feasibility
Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC) conducted a study to investigate the feasibility of using hydroacoustic methodology to enumerate outmigrating sockeye smolts at the outlet of... -
Effects of host migration, diversity and aquaculture on sea lice threats to Pacific salmon populations
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... -
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... -
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... -
An evaluation of the use of a rotary screw fish trap for assessing steelhead smolt emigrations in the Little Bulkley River, 1993
