"Report submitted to: FWR instructor Bob Gunn and Sandie Hollick-Kenyon, Community Advisor Dr. Colin Levings, Research Scientist, Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Submitted by: Crystal Leonard, Ryan Lyth and Emi Mamiya. In British Columbia surf smelt (Hypomesus pretiosus) are being managed for a commercial and sport fishery during their traditional May through September spawning months. Management concerns for this species have increased since the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife found three distinct stocks spawning either year round, fall-winter, or summer. The objective of this study was to sample the outer Burrard Inlet to determine if there are populations of reproductively mature adult surf smelt utilizing Spanish Banks and Second Beach during the January to April spawning period."
