Analysis of issues related to netcage salmon farming and wild salmon in British Columbia. The report takes a look behind the debate, examines the information and assumptions supporting the arguments of opposing interests.
The advisory offers a detailed implementation plan, and recommends that strategies for habitat and ecosystem management be implented together because of their overlap and as a means of saving costs. The Council recommends the use of broad-scale indicators throughout BC’s salmon waters and more detailed monitoring where high value habitat is under threat. The Council […]
In line with its mandate, the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council provides an annual report on its activities and output. This report serves the worthwhile purpose of reviewing and summarizing the key findings, observations and recommendations contained in background papers and other Council publications produced in the 2010 calendar year.
Fisheries ecosystem modelling could be a useful tool to complement present approaches to salmon research and management on Canada’s west coast. Ecosystem modelling refers to a computer application that simulates, through time, biological changes such as biomass, mortality, catch, feeding and competition in managed species. The models emulate such changes by considering factors like environment, […]
This report looked at all available information from British Columbia on whether large spawning populations that exceeded “normal”, target or historical numbers, were followed by stock collapses. There was evidence that there was a levelling-off of salmon production for runs having a high escapement, but there was no evidence of over-escapement causing stock collapse.
This annual report by the Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council summarizes the work performed in 2007. It discusses Council’s perspectives on the threats, improvements and trends that are impacting wild Pacific salmon stocks and their freshwater and ocean habitats. In the past year, Council produced and commissioned several reports that contributed to the improvement of […]
This report takes a look behind the debate, examines the information and assumptions supporting the arguments of opposing interests, and deepens the current public understanding about potential impacts of salmon aquaculture on wild salmon. The report’s focus was on the interplay of salmon farming and wild salmon, not on all aspects of the potential impacts […]
This report is in support of strategy 2 of the Wild Pacific Salmon Policy (WSP). This report recommends specific indicators that can be utilized to describe habitat status. It makes further recommendations including that of undertaking pilot implementation to learn as we go.
