Results of this research have been instrumental in improving walleye stocking practices. However, due to the complexity of the problem we know little about the importance of inter-relationships among these factors. In this workshop, we will examine some of the potential interactions between factors that influence walleye stocking success. The afternoon will be devoted to a discussion focused on the identification of ways in which these factors could interact to affect walleye stocking success. The goals of the workshop are to assess our current state of knowledge, generate hypotheses that will stimulate new research directions, and aid in the further development of effective walleye stocking strategies.
