Funded Project # 1 - Culture Technology of Walleye


(funded project 1)

Description

The first Walleye Funded Project - Chaired by Bob Summerfelt

Objectives:

  1. To develop baseline information on the mechanisms regulating the natural reproductive cycle of wild and pond-held walleye by characterizing seasonal changes in hormone titers and gonadal histology--Characterization of the natural reproductive cycle.
  2. Evaluate zooplankton seeding and clam shrimp control strategies for pond culture of walleye fingerlings.
  3. Determine the etiology of non-inflation of the gas bladder in intensively cultured walleye fry.
