Like i said before, the thesis you are using, I believe, is one of a few they used to compile their findings. The test areas in the paper you are quoting are still areas where walleye naturally exsist. Ive been trying to find the other papers, with no luck. But if I remember correctly they had fish samples from washington to arizona where walleye have never been present. They were trying to see how the planting and spawning of these fish were affecting the crossbreeding when they stumbled arcross the variations. The fish were from hatcheries with the original strains from the great lakes areas. I think (thats not goin well here[crazy]) that it has something to do with the difficulties in raising steril walleye also.
