67 Walleye > 70% of harvest RecFish 2010 Species composition of harvest Walleye < 10% of harvest Walleye alone cannot support high fishing effort requires very stringent regulations Smaller fish (panfish, perch) can sustain higher fishing effort because natural mortality increases as body size decreases In the south, smaller fish account for > 50% of the harvest 67
