Advancement Of and a Market Study for Walleye Aquaculture
(funded project 6)
Description
The sixth Walleye Funded Project. Chaired by Terry
Kayes, followed by Bob Summerfelt
Objectives:
- Evaluate growth, feed efficiency, and stress responses
as functions of density, loading, temperature, and feeding
regimes (feeding rate and frequency) under tank and
open-pond rearing conditions for raising juvenile walleye
to food size.
- Characterize the economics and institutional aspects of
the domestic market for walleye as food fish, fingerlings,
and other intermediate products.
- Offer several workshops in the North Central Region
using extension materials (fact sheets, videos, etc.) and
other information that has or will be developed necessary
to demonstrate the technology of culturing walleye and its
hybrids.
- Complete performance evaluations of walleye x sauger
hybrids to finalize research initiated during the June 1993
2-year proposal period, including studies on fillet yield,
proximate analysis, and organoleptic properties.
