Since the recapture ratios for pelagic versus littoral sampling were not significantly different, we can conclude that the reservoir abundance estimate was truly for the entire walleye population.

According to the CAPTURE tests there was no unequal probability of capture for spawning walleye, except due to time, which indicated the Jolly-Seber model robust to changes in capture probability over time was not biased due to heterogeneous capture probabilities.

However, due to low expected values and low capture probabilities the test was not considered reliable. Movements Walleye marked and recaptured in appeared to move farther between previous release and subsequent recapture locations than walleye tagged and recaptured in The mean distance between previous release and subsequent recapture locations was The increase in distances traveled in was probably due to marking of large numbers of walleye on the spawning run, many of which migrated long distances from the spawning area.

Only two walleye were recaptured more than 35 km from their previous release location in , and the maximum distance was km. During the project, 31 walleye were recaptured more than 40 km from their previous release location, including 10 that were more than km from their previous release location, with a maximum of km. Previous walleye tagging studies on Lake Roosevelt collectively indicated that walleye migrated long distances in the early spring to the only known walleye spawning area, in the upper reaches of the Spokane River Arm.

Following spawning, which peaked in late April and early May, walleye rapidly dispersed throughout the reservoir, with the majority moving north, and established summer home ranges SHR Nigro et al. Environmental Services, personal communication, ; McLellan et al.

The mean distance moved between release and recapture by walleye marked following the spawning run Age, Growth, and Mortality McLellan et al. However, when the age data was compared to the USFWS study, the same age classes were represented and there were relatively similar numbers of old walleye Figure 6. The main reason for the absence of the older year classes and low numbers of old walleye in was probably due to the inability to effectively sample the spawning run, as suggested by McLellan et al.

The spawning run was effectively sampled in the and 83 projects and they both had similar age distributions. The data collected in indicated the walleye population was stable and the concerns about the age structure that were addressed in were not warranted. The However, the intercept fell within the range of intercepts 6. The differences in the intercepts calculated for Lake Roosevelt walleye was likely due to the methods by which they were calculated. In , scales were analyzed from 2, walleye of which the majority were young and small, possibly biasing the intercept toward values for small fish McLellan et al.

The intercept was calculated in , using relatively equal numbers of samples from every length class, by using scale lengths from no more than five individuals per 1 cm length class.

The intercept value was the probably the most accurate due to equal weighting of the scale length and body length relationship for all sizes of fish. Back-calculated total lengths at the formation of each annulus for walleye with scales analyzed in were roughly the same as those reported for , except that first year growth had decreased by 10 mm and growth had decreased after age 6, in Table 7.

The mean annual mortality rate of Lake Roosevelt walleye calculated in was similar to the estimated mean annual mortality in and was average when compared to other walleye producing waters Table Mean annual mortality rates between age classes of walleye collected in Lake Roosevelt in were different than those in Table 8.

There were some negative values for mortality rates in Table 8 , indicating we did not meet the assumptions of equal selectivity to sampling, equal numbers born in each cohort, or equal mortality between each age class for each cohort.

Condition Mean KTL 0. The length-weight regression equation, calculated in , was similar to the equations calculated for Lake Roosevelt walleye in and Conclusions We believe that the Lake Roosevelt walleye population consisted of approximately , individuals, as of the spring of and that approximately 27, members of the population spawned in the Spokane River Arm.

The estimates provided had low precision due to low capture probabilities, however they appeared to be reasonable when compared to creel harvest estimates. We believe we have provided the most accurate and reasonable estimates that could be provided without a large increase in effort and money or developing new sampling techniques that are more effective.

Roosevelt, 2, McLellan et al. For the most part, walleye moved little, except when migrating to and dispersing from the spawning area. Dispersal data indicated some walleye make long distance post spawning movements throughout the reservoir before establishing a SHR. Walleye age, growth, mortality, and condition data indicated that the walleye population was average when compared to other walleye producing waters and relatively stable when compared to previous Lake Roosevelt studies.
