Walleye

The walleye (Sander vitreus, synonym Stizostedion vitreum) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and the northern United States. It is a close North American relative of the European zander (also called pikeperch). The species is sometimes called yellow walleye to distinguish it from the blue walleye, a color morph once found in southern Ontario and Quebec that is presumed extinct; genetic analysis of a preserved blue-walleye sample suggests blue and yellow forms were phenotypes within the same species. In parts of English-speaking Canada the fish is often called a pickerel, though it is not related to true pickerels (family Esocidae). In British English it is sometimes called a dory; the French common name doré means "golden" or "gilded." Walleyes show variation across watersheds, with populations within a watershed being generally similar and genetically distinct from nearby watersheds. The species has been artificially propagated and stocked for over a century, and introductions or plantings have sometimes reduced local genetic distinctiveness.

The strongest linked planning options currently surface around destinations such as Hawaii Island Big Island Usa, Tulamben and Amed and countries such as Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, French Polynesia for divers building trips around walleyes.
