Report summary: Salmon and steelhead of the Skeena River are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data; sales slips) and the sport fishery (Steelhead Harvest Analysis), but the native fishery is very poorly understood. Fishery officers with the Federal Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans (D.F.O.) make annual estimates of the total catch of each species, but these data have been highly variable due to changes in survey methods, district boundaries and personnel. In 1985, D.F.O. funded the Gitksan Wet'suwet'en Tribal Council to estimate the effort and catch of the native fishery within their boundaries (Morrell et al 1985). Sampling was not consistent over the four year duration of the study, and data were weak during some portions of the fishery. In addition, the report did not include data for fisheries outside of the tribal boundaries, such as the Kitselaas and Kitsumkalum Bands of the lower Skeena, and the Babine Band of the upper Babine River. A preliminary survey of the Skeena River native net fishery was conducted in 1987 to improve on existing data. The objective of the study was to estimate 1987 native fishery effort on the Skeena.
