Laumontite and heulandite are extensively developed as metamorphic minerals in sandstones of the Late Cretaceous Nanaimo Group, Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands, British Columbia. Major post-depositional changes in the sandstones also include widespread carbonate cementation and replacement, alteration of plagioclase and biotite, and development of a phyllosilicate matrix. The sequence apparently is depth-zoned, with heulandite present only in the upper 1000 m of section, and laumontite developed in the upper 2500 m. The zeolite assemblages probably were developed during burial metamorphism, as subject to controls of permeability and suppression by a high chemical potential of CO2. Comparable assemblages should be expected in similar clastic sequences found in other portions of the Cordillera, particularly the thick Mesozoic successions of the Intermontane and Insular Fold Belts.

Marine Survival

Wild adult steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) abundance for rivers in British Columbia was indexed using catch-per-angler-day (CpAD) calculated from data obtained using an angler questionnaire. Mean annual CpAD for primarily winter-run steelhead in rivers of four rainfall-driven coastal regions of British Columbia showed similar trends from the fiscal year 1967-1968 to 1989-1990. After 1989-1990 the trends diverged. The generally remote rivers of the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands maintained a steady or increasing trend in CpAD after 1989-1990. The long-term trend for these two regions correlated well with a joint index of winter and summer upwelling for the Coastal Upwelling Domain for the years that steelhead are at sea and is consistent with studies that relate marine survival of salmon to oceanic-atmospheric climate. In contrast with west coast Vancouver Island and the Queen Charlotte Islands, most rivers of the east coast of Vancouver Island and the lower mainland near Vancouver revealed declining trends since 1989-1990. Most of these rivers drain into the Strait of Georgia. Reasons for the discrepancy among regions after about 1990 are discussed. They include high angling pressure related to hatchery supplementation, differences in riverine and marine conditions, and smolt migration distance.
