Steelhead Enumeration at Moricetown Canyon using Mark-Recapture, 2009
This project provided information about steelhead escapement in the Buckley River in 2009 by supporting collection and analysis of data by the Moricetown Canyon steelhead mark-recapture program. The Moricetown program has operated since 1999 to generate annual abundance estimates for steelhead migrating past the Moricetown Canyon falls. Data is collected in the field by Wet’suwet’en Fisheries and is analysed by SKR Consultants to produce estimates of escapement and run timing.
