Probably walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) habitation in the Snake River and tributaries of Idaho. Research technical completion report, project A-060-IDA Item Info
![Report of walleye in the lower Snake River has aroused concern over the possible expansion of populations into the upper Snake, Clearwater, and Salmon river systems. [...] At the present time, the squawfish is the major predator below dams and in the reservoirs. Walleye, however, are more voracious and efficient piscivorous feeders than squawfish and consequently, could intensify predation on emigrating juvenile salmonids which could contribute further to the decline of anadromous fishes in Idaho. For this reason, this study was initiated with the following objectives: 1. To review the historic impact of walleye on salmonid fishes; 2. To document the occurrence of walleye in the lower Snake River; and, 3. To complete a literature review of the ecological requirements of walleye.](https://objects.lib.uidaho.edu/iwdl/small/iwdl-197902_sm.jpg)
