Spawning areas of British Columbia herring : a review, geographical analysis and classification / by D.E. Hay, P.B. McCarter, R. Kronlund and C. Roy.: Fs97-4/2019E-PDF

"The geographical distribution of herring spawning in British Columbia, was analysed for 50 years, from 1937 to 1986. The analyses was based on approximately 20,000 records of spawning made annually for different regions of the British Columbia coast by Fishery Officers. For each of about 90 geographical subdivisions of the coast, tables are presented to show the annual frequency of spawns in one kilometer segments of the coast. The intensity of spawning in specific areas is shown by histograms. Separate tables present a statistical summary of spawn records, including mean spawning dates. Tables summarizing roe fishery activity (1972-86) are shown for each location. A descriptive summary including a classification of the ecological importance of herring spawning habitat, is presented for each area"--Abstract.
