Habitat Suitability Index Models: Walleye

The wall eye is native to freshwater ri vers and 1akes of Canada and the United States, with rare occurrences in brackish water (Scott and Crossman 1973). In the United States, its native range occurs primarily in drainages east of the Rocky Mountains and west of the Appalachians; however, it has been widely introduced into reservoirs outside its native range (Colby et al. 1979). Walleye hybridize with sauger (S. canadense) and blue pike (S. v. glaucum) (Scott and Crossman 1973).
