Stockwell Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Canada June 29, 2018 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A total of 1655 Sockeye Salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka, were sampled and PIT tagged at the Bonneville Dam Adult Fish Facility in 2016, while 1092 were PIT tagged in 2017. Sockeye PIT tagged by this project, along with previously PIT tagged Sockeye Salmon also sampled, were tracked upstream using data from detection arrays at mainstem Columbia River dam fish ladders as well as in-river arrays in the Wenatchee and Okanagan basins. Upstream detections of adult PIT tagged Sockeye Salmon tracked by this project resulted in an estimated survival in 2016 of 89.2% to McNary Dam and 81.2% to Rock Island Dam for 2016. In 2017, estimated survival to McNary was 81.7% and 70.8% to Rock Island Dam. Genetic stock identification (GSI) was used to classify the stock of 1,706 Sockeye Salmon sampled at Bonneville Dam in 2016 and 1,093 in 2017.

Peterman1 and Brigitte Dorner2 1 School of Resource and Environmental Management, Simon Fraser University, 8888 University Drive, Burnaby, BC V5A 1S6 2 Driftwood Cove Designs, GD Lasqueti Island, BC V0R 2J0 Technical Report 10 February 2011 Recommended citation for this report: Peterman, R.M. and B. Dorner. 2011. Fraser River sockeye production dynamics. Cohen Commission Tech. Rept. 10: 133p. Vancouver, B.C. www.cohencommission.ca Preface Fraser River sockeye salmon are vitally important for Canadians. Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities depend on sockeye for their food, social, and ceremonial purposes; recreational pursuits; and livelihood needs. They are key components of freshwater and marine aquatic ecosystems. Events over the past century have shown that the Fraser sockeye resource is fragile and vulnerable to human impacts such as rock slides, industrial activities, climatic change, fisheries policies and fishing. Fraser sockeye are also subject to natural environmental variations and population cycles that strongly influence survival and production. In 2009, the decline of sockeye salmon stocks in the Fraser River in British Columbia led to the closure of the fishery for the third consecutive year, despite favourable pre-season estimates of the number of sockeye salmon expected to return to the river. The 2009 return marked a steady decline that could be traced back two decades. In November 2009, the Governor General in Council appointed Justice Bruce Cohen as a Commissioner under Part I of the Inquiries Act to investigate this decline of sockeye salmon in the Fraser River.

  • OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories
    OLD TOWN Heritage Walking Tour of Yellowknife Northwest Territories An Introduction to this heritage walking tour: The first city guide for historical walking tours of Yellowknife was published in 1987. This revised guide includes four distinct routes in the Old Town area, covering many points of interest in the original areas of community development around Latham Island, the Rock, and the neighbouring flats. It is easy to link tours together and the entire area can be covered in an easy afternoon’s walk. The City’s roots and pioneer charm rest in the waterfront streets and structures of the Old Town. On the centre page of this guide is a map of the Old Town area. Each consecutively numbered site, street or building in the text is shown on the map. Italicized sub-headings in the text describe the general location or direction of the walking tour route. A symbol indicates the site has a descriptive plaque; a symbol indicates the site is one of the City’s designated Heritage Sites. You will find that the route described in this guide, along with the routes described in the New Town guide, can be taken in pieces or linked together to cover any amount of time one might wish to spend strolling through the heritage of the City. Certain sites included in this guide, and many more in the Old Town guide, are documented in the City of Yellowknife Heritage Committee historical building inventory. It is available at the Yellowknife Public Library, the NWT Archives at the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, Yellowknife City Hall, or on the City Hall website (www.yellowknife.ca).
