I,.:.'] IV !~"- - "':-:'J INTRODUCTION

To assist the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) manage the fisheries resources in the Prince Rupert area, G.L. Williams and Associates Lt4. was retained to compile a bibliography of existing coastal information describing habitats and biota. ~ 1 The study area is bounded by Tuck Inlet in the north, Marcus Passage in the south, in the west and De Horsey Island in the east. The Skeen a River '"-"'T·;. estuary was not included in the study. To facilitate processing the information, the nu.··.·I L study area was divided into four sub-areas: Prince Rupert, Digby Island, Port Edward and Smith Island (Figure 1).

r] The report has been organized into two main parts. The first provides a complete !:! alphabetical listing of the citations included in the bibliography, with each citiation given a reference number. The second part lists bibliographic citations according to subject areas related to habitat and water quality. This format was selected during discussions with DFO biologists to provide a practical bibliography that would benefit DFO habitat managers. Report citations which have "bold" typeface indicate they contain original sampling data and, in many cases, the sampling locations have been mapped on the sub-area maps.

Preparation of the report involved compiling listings of existing published primary literature as well as "grey literature" which included internal agency reviews, consultant client reports and file data. The work included searches of in-house DFO information, especially file data, in Prince Rupert and Ministry of Environment files in Smithers to obtain up-to-date listings of permitted effluent discharges. In some cases it was not possible to find the report and the author was unable to conduct a review of its contents. However, the citation was included in the bibliography. Citations were C:·~"l entered according to author, year, title, agency, with "Anon." being used if no author , was identified.

One of the objectives of the report was to assist DFO habitat managers identify existing sampling data describing salmonid utilization within the estuary. Original sampling locations were marked on base maps for each of the four sub-areas. The sampling locations mapped provide a preliminary indication of the sampling effort, J since not all references cited were actually reviewed and not all sampling locations could be mapped at the scale used.

,.IJI . (""\. L. W The report provides a useful compilation of existing information for the Prince Rupert coastal area related to fish habitat. It has been entered on computer (Le. WordPerfect C."' " . 5.1) to facilitate access and updating. ']l
