The role of density dependence in growth patterns of ceded territory walleye populations of northern Wisconsin: Effects of changing management regimes The role of density dependence in growth patterns of ceded territory walleye populations of northern Wisconsin: Effects of changing management regimes
We assessed density-related changes in growth of walleye Sander vitreus in the ceded territory of northern Wisconsin from 1977 to 1999. We used asymptotic length (Lz), growth rate near t0 (??), and body condition as measures of walleye growth to determine the relationship between growth and density. Among lakes, there was weak evidence of density-dependent growth: adult density explained...

Projecting global datasets to achieve equal areas Projecting global datasets to achieve equal areas
Scientists routinely accomplish global modeling in the raster domain, but recent research has indicated that the transformation of large areas through map projection equations leads to errors. This research attempts to gauge the extent of map projection and resampling effects on the tabulation of categorical areas by comparing the results of three datasets for seven common projections...

Impacts of Daily Bag Limit Reductions on Angler Effort in Wisconsin Walleye Lakes Impacts of Daily Bag Limit Reductions on Angler Effort in Wisconsin Walleye Lakes
Angler effort is an important factor affecting recreational fisheries. However, angler responses are rarely incorporated into recreational fisheries regulations or predictions. Few have attempted to examine how daily bag limit regulations affect total angling pressure and subsequent stock densities. Our paper develops a theoretical basis for predicting angler effort and harvest rate...

Catchability of Walleyes to Fyke Netting and Electrofishing in Northern Wisconsin Lakes Catchability of Walleyes to Fyke Netting and Electrofishing in Northern Wisconsin Lakes
We quantified relationships between both fyke-net catch rates (catch/net-night) and electrofishing catch rates (catch/mi) and population densities (number/acre) of walleye Sander vitreus (formerly Stizostedion vitreum) for adult population estimates and total population estimates to determine whether catchability was density dependent. Fyke-net catch rates were modeled as a nonlinear...
