History
The Fraser River Hydro and Fisheries Research Project was established in 1956, financed by a grant from the B.C. Power Corporation. Designed to study the delicate inter-relationship of power developments on the river and marine life, the Project began with two general surveys of the so-called "fish-power" problem. The initial surveys, which employed numerous biologists and engineers' services, identify areas for future research. Gordon Shrum was appointed chairman of the Executive, Advisory and Technical Committees, who supervised the operation. Peter Larkin headed the first general survey. The Project concluded in 1961.
