Department of Fisheries and Oceans annual reports of salmon streams and spawning populations 1965-2004

Migratory pathways of adult sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) on their way to the spawning grounds in Babine Lake were monitored by ultrasonic tracking techniques in 1969 and...

Toboggan Creek, a small tributary of the Bulkley River near Smithers was studied September 27 through October 1, 1978. Objectives of the project were to assess fish habitat and...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C.

A creel census was conducted on the Morice River steelhead fishery during Autumn, 1976. Objectives of the study were two-fold: to collect detailed information on angler origin,...

This report describes the results of the Babine Development Project evaluation program relative to the individual components within project, containing components which describe...

This thesis studies the reproductive behavior, life cycles, and physical differences between Kokanee and Sockeye salmon in the Babine Lake streams, along with the possible...

A series of experiments was conducted during the spring, summer and fall of 1977 to determine the potential copper toxicity hazard to Babine Lake sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus...

Approximate timing of Babine Lake stocks in the fishing area has been shown by tagging there and in the Skeena River estuary, and recovering tagged fish on Babine Lake spawning...

The Fisheries Service of the Department of the Environment is currently attempting to increase sockeye production by increasing the number of fry entering the lake, thus making...

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...

The chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) escapements to the Skeena River have declined from 1950 to 1973 (Figure 1). In 1973, restrictions on sport and commercial fisheries...

Echo surveying is one of the newer techniques for estimating the abundance and distributional patterns of fish stocks and its potential seems promising as it is a convenient,...

Possible causes of low egg-to-fry survival of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the Babine Lake artificial spawning channels were studied from November, 1971 to March,...

A comparative study of the distribution, growth, and survival of sockeye salmon fry resulting from the same parental stocks, but reared in natural and artificial conditions...

Rainbow trout are the most important sport fish in terms of angling effort in the Babine Lake system. Griffiths (1968) has reported on the age and growth of rainbow trout in the...

Concern over the status of chinook salmon on the Pacific Coast, and particularly in the north (Fig. 1), has become more prevalent in recent years due to an apparent decline in...

A styrofoam insulated upwelling gravel incubator employing a gravel substrate and partially filtered river water was tested under extreme cold weather conditions and evaluated...

This report addresses itself to the following sequence of events in 1979: the capture of adult steelhead in the lower Suskwa River for egg collection purposes, the hatchery...

The 1977 aspect of the Suskwa River project began in July and continued until freeze-up in November. Fish were sampled either with "Gees" traps or by angling. The inventory crew...
