By wildness, we have in mind landscapes that are relatively self-maintaining, with full vegetation and faunal assemblages present, and where the human communities are in a close and sustainable relationship with the local ecosystem. Flourishing, and intact, we view wild landscapes as important in, and of, themselves; for cultural reasons, and as indicators of ecological health. Round River works closely with local, national and international con- servation organizations to ensure the integrity of wild lands and waters for generations yet to come. We employ the principles of conservation biology to formulate strategies to provide our partner organizations and communities confidence in their decisions and to provide a well founded scientific basis for their long-term conservation planning efforts.

  • Eulachon Past and Present
    Eulachon past and present by Megan Felicity Moody B.Sc., The University of Victoria, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Resource Management and Environmental Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2008 © Megan Felicity Moody, 2008 Abstract The eulachon (Thaleichthys pacificus), a small anadromous smelt (Family Osmeridae) found only along the Northwest Pacific Coast, is poorly understood. Many spawning populations have suffered declines but as their historic status is relatively unknown and the fisheries poorly documented, it is difficult to study the contributing factors. This thesis provides a survey of eulachon fisheries throughout its geographical range and three analyses aimed at improving our understanding of past and present fisheries, coast-wide abundance status, and the factors which may be impacting these populations. An in-depth view of the Nuxalk Nation eulachon fishery on the Bella Coola River, Central Coast, BC, is provided. The majority of catches were used for making eulachon grease, a food item produced by First Nations by fermenting, then cooking the fish to release the grease. Catch statistics were kept yearly from 1945-1989 but have since, rarely been recorded. Using traditional and local ecological knowledge, catches were reconstructed based on estimated annual grease production. Run size trends were also created using local Fisheries Officers and Nuxalk interview comments. A fuzzy logic expert system was designed to estimate the relative abundance of fifteen eulachon systems. The expert system uses catch data to determine the exploitation status of a fishery and combines it with other data sources (e.g., CPUE) to estimate an abundance status index.

VBJ 1G8 August, 1985 Canadian Manuscript Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences No. 1838 Canadian Manuscript Report of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences Manuscript reports contain scientific and technical information that contributes to existing knowledge but which deals with national or regional problems. Distribu­ tion is restricted to institutions or individuals located in particular regions of Canada. However, no restriction is placed on subject malter, and the series ref1ects the broad interests and policies of the Department of Fis heries and Oceans, namely, fisheries and aquatic sciences. Manuscript reports may be cited as fu ll publications. The correct citation appears above the abstract of each report. Each report is abstracted in Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries A bstracts and indexed in the Department's annual index to scientific and technical publications. umbers 1- 900 in this series were issued as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Biological Board of Canada, and subsequent to 1937 when the name of the Board was changed by Act of Parliament, as Manuscript Reports (Biological Series) of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 901 - 1425 were issued as Manuscript Reports of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. Numbers 1426-1550 were issued as Department of Fisheries and the Environment, Fisheries and Marine Service Manuscript Reports. The current series name was changed with report number 1551.

  • Birds of the Coast of Central British Columbia
    July, 1942 175 BIRDS OF THE COAST OF CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA By HAMILTON M. LAING . In the years from 1932 to 1941, the writer has at times been engaged in biological exploration of the coastal strip of central British Columbia. The following bird notes are offered to indicate extensions of range for many species scantily mentioned in the A.O.U. Check-list of 1931. The region covered includes Vancouver Island from Comox northward to Cape Scott and the opposite mainland from Lang Bay, close by the entrance of Jervis Inlet, to Kimsquit at the head of the Dean Channel. The only con- siderable penetration inland was made up the Bella Coola Valley, to Stuie, forty miles from salt water, and northward from this point to the western edge of the Rainbow Mountains. In the region of the mainland coast especially, not so difficult of accessas hard to investigate when the worker is located, observation must mainly be confined to the flats at the river-mouths of the inlet heads. Steep wooded and rocky mountain sides rising from the salt water are not conducive to extensive travel. Accordingly, these notes are not offered with any idea of completeness. Points worked in this investiga- tion, in the seasonsof 1935 to 1940, inclusive, were as follows: Upper Campbell Lake, Sayward, Shushartie and Cape Scott on Vancouver Island; Horseshoe Lake, ten miles inland from mouth of Jervis Inlet, Stuart Island, Bute Inlet, Loughborough Inlet, King- come Inlet, Rivers Inlet and near-by Owikeno Lake, Calvert Island, Hagensborg in the Bella Coola valley, and Stuie, forty miles inland on the Atnarko River, Caribou Mountain (south of Atnarko River), head of Mosher Creek (north of Atnarko River), Rainbow Mountains, and Kimsquit at mouth of Dean River, Dean Channel.
