Science Advisory Report 2010/035
Assessment of Walleye (Sander vitreus) from Tathlina Lake, Northwest Territories
Summary
Stock status
- Data collected from experimental gill netting between 2001 and 2007 suggest an improvement in the status of the Walleye in Tathlina Lake.
Fishery
- A quota of 20,000 kg does not appear sustainable.
- An initial conservative commercial quota of ≤5,000 kg should pose a low risk to the population.
- Only 108 mm mesh size gillnets should be used to help protect the spawning stock.
Monitoring and future research
- Suggestions are provided for additional research and monitoring activities that would improve future assessment.
