"Babine Lake (Fig. l), the largest lake of the Skeena River drainage system, produces one of British Columbia's major sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) stocks. Studies by the Research and Development Branch of the Fisheries and Marine Service indicated that the main lake basin of Babine Lake had further potential as a sockeye nursery area (Department of Fisheries, 1965, McDonald 1969). The rationale for this project follows from studies by Johnson (1956, 1958, MS, 1961) which suggested that Babine's main lake basin is underutilized as a lake nursery area for sockeye because of the limited capacity of adjacent spawning streams to produce fry. As a result, artificial spawning facilities were constructed on two tributaries of Babine Lake to increase sockeye fry production to the lake by 100 million or more additional fry. The project involved extension and improvement of spawning grounds by constructing artificial spawning channels and dams to provide for water flow regulation"--Introduction.
