The Fraser River Hydro and Fisheries Research Project was established in 1956, financed in part 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 the services of numerous biologists and engineers, identified areas for future research. Gordon Shrum was appointed chairman of the Executive, Advisory and Technical Committees which supervised the operation and Peter Larkin headed the first general survey. The Project concluded in 1961.
