Wetsuweten Fisheries has continued the annual steelhead tagging program on the Bulkley River at Moricetown canyon (about 30 km north of Smithers, B.C.) in 2009 to monitor run timing and abundance of steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) arriving at Moricetown. This study is a continuation of previous tagging efforts at Moricetown Canyon since 1999 (SKR 2000a, 2001a, 2002a, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c). Steelhead tagging at Moricetown Canyon is conducted in conjunction with an extensive adult coho (O. kisutch) tagging program, and an adult sockeye salmon (O. nerka) tagging program; data for these species are analysed separately by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (Walter Joseph, Fisheries Manager, Office of the Wetsuweten, pers. comm.). In addition, chinook salmon (O. tsawytscha) have been tagged at Moricetown since 2002 (SKR 2003a, 2004, 2006, 2008). The steelhead tagging program at Moricetown Canyon was designed by Wetsuweten Fisheries, incorporating input from B.C. Environment (MoE) and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (FOC). This report summarizes steelhead data collected from June 23rd, 2009 to October 1st, 2009.
The main objectives of this project were:
- to monitor timing of steelhead migrations arriving at Moricetown Canyon;
- to review, check, and summarize steelhead data collected at Moricetown Canyon; and
- to estimate the number of steelhead in the Bulkley River that arrive at Moricetown Canyon in the summer/fall of 2009.
