| My name is Dan Glynn and I go to St Cloud State University. I have a conservation and class and we have a term paper due at the end of the semester. Everyone in the class has to due the paper on a resource. Of course the topic I chose were walleye. I am about half way done and have been stuck with a certain question I have to answer in the paper. The question is, Global scale: Where is the resource found? A map of its worldwide distribution is essential (you can create one yourself with ArcView or on a blank map of the world by coloring/labeling countries that produce it, or you can use somebody else's map - please provide reference). What countries have a lot of it, what countries have very little? Where does the US stand in relation to others? If you have any idea where I can get information so I can answer this question can you please post or email me at [email protected].
Thank You Dan Glynn

Location: Neenah, WI | In-Fisherman magazine had an article a few years ago on Walleye distribution in North America. Sorry, I don't remember the year. From what I remember, they are found in all but about 5-6 states. I have some back issues here and when I get time I'll see if I have the one in question. Meanwhile, maybe one of the others here can enlighten you a bit. |

The Walleye specie is pretty much native to North America and Canada, even though in recent years have been transplanted in many other U.S. southern and western lakes and reservoirs. There are some other species that look like the walleye, like the Europeon Zander and Salt Water Snook, but I'm not sure if they are even in the same genus family, as the walleye is related to both the fresh water Perch and Pike. That's about the best I personally can do for you.

Call the In-Fisherman Walleye Insider magazine and speak with either Jim Kalkofen, Charlie Moore, or Julie Magnuson. They can help you with this. I believe they could fax you a map of the worldwide distribution of walleyes. Their number is 218-829-1648. |

| Thanks for the info. The zander is in the same family as walleye, I added a part about that so far in my paper. I will have to call infisherman tomorrow.
