Assessing habitat suitability for walleye (Stizosteion vitreum) and possible species interaction with salmonid fishes. Research technical completion report Item Info

Sports fishermen throughout North America are pressuring fisheries management agencies to introduce exotic fishes. Few techniques are available, however, to assess the suitability of the habitat and the potential for adverse effects. The objectives of this study were: ( 1) to develop a methodology to predict the probability of successfully establishing an exotic species of fish; (2) to develop a predictive model; and (3) to apply a technique for an ecological analysis of a hypothetical system to assess possible interactions between species. We selected walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) as our target exotic species because of increasing interest to introduce this species into waters throughout Idaho and other states in the Pacific Northwest.
