Sub-lethal Metal Toxicity Effects on Salmonids: A Review
A SkeenaWild report on heavy metals and the lowest concentrations of metals reported to cause sub-lethal effects on salmonids. Heavy metals are common pollutants of aquatic systems, often associated with human activities such as hard-rock mining. Fish are vulnerable to metals because of sensitive organs that are continuously in contact with water, and because metals are highly soluble in water.
Spreading The Risk: Population Diversity Boosts Fishery Resilience
Nature article on population diversity in salmon species that suggests reducing the homogenizing effects of hatcheries on genetic diversity, protecting weak stocks from over-harvesting, and maintaining intact habitat networks should be prioritized.
Pacific Salmon Resources in Northern British Columbia and Yukon Transboundary Rivers
A Pacific Fisheries Resource Conservation Council report examining wild salmon resources in Canadian portions of northern BC and Yukon transboundary rivers. The report notes: "There is limited scientific information, priority identification, or relevant information available to help protect the tranboundary region’s most sensitive spawning and rearing salmon habitats and watersheds being exposed to major resource extraction project development and expansion – i.e. mining in Taku, Stikine, and Alsek, and placer mining regime in Upper Yukon, as well as hydro electric installations, coal bed methane projects, pipelines and transmission corridors."
A Taku Salmon Stronghold
An appraisal of the potential to establish a Taku Salmon Stronghold, with a review of the Taku watershed’s salmon values in relation to the scientific criteria and other qualifications established by the North American Salmon Stronghold Partnership.

The Council’s role is to advise the federal Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, the British Columbia Minister of Fisheries and the public.
Pacific Salmon Commission
The Pacific Salmon Commission is the body formed by the governments of Canada and the United States to implement the Pacific Salmon Treaty, for the conservation, rational management, and optimum production of Pacific Salmon.
