Modeling population outcomes for walleye, examining fishing mortality and minimum length limits.

Population responses to changes in minimum length limits were more significant than to bag limits, highlighting effective management strategies.
Model simulations indicated that fishing mortality poses greater challenges to walleye reaching 56 cm than natural mortality rates.
Comprehensive data from creel interviews and surveys informed the modeling, ensuring relevance to state agency management goals.
Results can guide Midwest state agencies in establishing suitable regulations for sustainable walleye fisheries.

Ranta et al. (2025) studied this question.
