Abstract

Year-class analysis of walleye, Stizostedion v. vitreum (Mitchill), taken by anglers in a portion of the Cedar River in Iowa indicated that alternate-year stocking of 3,500 fry per mile of river did not influence year-class abundance. Despite the short duration of the project, 1951-1958, a reasonably direct relationship between spring floods and spring air temperatures and year-class abundance was evident. Disparity in year-class abundance between samples taken 5 miles apart and within 3 months of each other, but by different methods (angling and chemical kill), indicates either a sampling selectivity or a relative discreteness or stability of portions of an assumed homogeneous population of river walleyes, or both.
