Abstract As part of a national ecosystem review of large ocean management areas, this report examines the marine ecosystem of the Pacific North Coast Integrated Management Area (PNCIMA). PNCIMA encompasses approximately 102,000 km2 from the edge of the continental shelf east to the British Columbia mainland. The region extends from the British Columbia-Alaska border south […]
Introduction On December 8, 2005, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) convened 60 First Nations representatives and stakeholders in Burnaby, BC to discuss implementation of Canada’s Policy for the Conservation of Wild Pacific Salmon (WSP). The purpose of the forum was to discuss the draft Wild Salmon Policy Work Plan, with the goal […]
Abstract The fish-and-water management tools (FWMT) system is a coupled set of 4 biophysical models of key relationships (among climate, water, fish and property) used to predict consequences of water management decisions (represented in a fifth decision-rules model) for fish and other water users in the Okanagan valley. At the beginning of each month from […]
Abstract This report is the twelfth in an annual series on the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems. The region supports important resident and migratory populations of invertebrates, groundfish and pelagic fishes, marine mammals and seabirds. Monitoring the physical and biological oceanographic conditions and fishery resources of the […]
Abstract A new system of salmon status categorization will provide useful indicators of ocean conditions and climate variability in the North Pacific Ocean. Under Canada’s new Wild Salmon Policy, biological status will be assessed and categorized for a few hundred largely independent lineages of chinook, sockeye, coho, chum, and pink salmon. Changes to the status […]
Abstract This eleventh report of an annual series updates the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems. One of the biggest stories for 2009 was the return of far fewer Sockeye salmon than expected. Accurately forecasting salmon returns is difficult as there are few observations of salmon between the […]
Abstract At the beginning of each month from January 2006 to June 2006 updated snow survey reports from the BC Ministry of Environment River Forecast Centre (RFC) were fed into the FWMT system. Snow reports included measurements of current snow-packs, recent climatic conditions, and forecasts of what might be expected in terms of future runoff. […]
Abstract This report summarizes highlights from the tenth in an annual report series updating the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems. Canadian Pacific marine waters lie in a transition zone between coastal upwelling (California Current) and downwelling (Alaskan Coastal Current) regions, and experience strong seasonality and considerable freshwater […]
Summary This report is the thirteenth in an annual series on the state of physical, biological, and selected fishery resources of Canadian Pacific marine ecosystems. The region supports important resident and migratory populations of invertebrates, groundfish and pelagic fishes, marine mammals and seabirds. Monitoring the physical and biological oceanographic conditions and fishery resources of the […]
Presented at Wild Salmon Policy Forum, March 2008.
Introduction DFO Science is working to ensure a vibrant and sustainable aquatic science program that is based on excellence, continues to support DFO and Government of Canada priorities, and better serves Canadians. Scientific capacity and resources are being challenged to meet the increasingly complex and growing requirement for science advice, projects and services to support […]
