Fisheries Research Board of Canada: Manuscript Reports of the Biological Station

Since 1950, creel census studies have been conducted as a part of the program of sockeye salmon research at Lakelse. To gain a greater understanding of the cut-throat population and its relationship to the survival of young sockeye pertinent information was obtained on the annual removal of cut-throat from the lake and the river by the fishery and on the age composition, growth, abundance and distribution of the cut-throat population.
