Did You Know?

  • ...That over 190 species of plants and animals depend on salmon: from algae and mosses to bears, whales and people!1
  • ...Gillnet test fishery operations have been conducted at Tyee in the lower Skeena River since 1955, in order to evaluate the magnitude of Skeena River salmon and steelhead trout returns. This programme was developed to provide daily estimates of sockeye escapements through the commercial fishery. The data obtained from this operation, combined with estimates of the commercial catch in Area 4, provides a complete picture of the sockeye and pink runs as they develop each year. This information is considered essential for the effective management of all Skeena salmonid species.2
