Walleye Technical Committee
Meetings
The Walleye Technical Committee traditionally meets twice during the year. An informal summer meeting is usually held during the third week of July. Exchange of technical information and special project discussions occur at this meeting. A shorter, but more formal business winter meeting is held in conjunction with the annual Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference in which chapter representatives give their state and provincial reports.
The purpose of the Walleye Technical Committee of the North Central Division of the American Fisheries Society is to promote the research and development of functional management strategies leading to the wise use of native and introduced stocks of Walleye, Sauger and their hybrids, and of Yellow Perch, to improve culture techniques and to facilitate the dissemination of pertinent data and technology to both the scientific and user communities.

Bruce A. Barton, editor 2011. Biology, Management, and Culture of Walleye and Sauger 600 pages, index Published by the American Fisheries Society, June 2011 ISBN: 978-1-934874-22-6
Summary:
This new compendium serves as a single comprehensive source of information on the biology, ecology, management, and culture of walleye and sauger in North America.
Early chapters cover Sander systematics, including osteological evidence and molecular and population genetics and recent advancements in stock identification. Extensive information is documented on habitat requirements for various life history stages and how these stages can be influenced by environmental perturbations. Other chapters describe environmental biology and feeding energetics and provide details on walleye and sauger life histories, walleye population and community dynamics in lakes that reflect the influence of lake size, fishing methods, and various management techniques using case histories, and exploitation from recreational, commercial, aboriginal, and mixed fisheries. Harvest regulations, sampling procedures, and their effectiveness are also reviewed and evaluated. Final chapters review and analyze stocking procedures, marking techniques, ecological effects of stocking, and the state of the art of walleye and hybrid walleye culture.
This reference work will be used by fishery scientists, biologists, managers, culturists, students, and interested public such as anglers and conservationists.
