CONT

Population status refers to the current state of the population and considers factors such as abundance, age and sex structure, and health (i.e., nutritional and physiological condition).

CONT

The population status of Walleye of Tathlina Lake appears to have improved between 2001 and 2007. The mean size(length and weight) of Walleye and age of Walleye has increased, while the increase in catch-per-unit effort of and proportion of Walleye in the total catch suggests an increase in Walleye biomass in the lake. The presence of the strong 1997 year class that reached sexual maturity in 2003 was left to spawn multiple times without considerable harvest has likely helped improve the status of the population.

Record 4 2013-06-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Zoology
  • Hunting and Sport Fishing
  • Aboriginal Law
CONT

Wildlife harvesting.... Wildlife is harvested for many different purposes. Sport hunting usually takes a sample of the population during a restricted season and often with a restriction placed on the sex and age of the harvest. Harvesting for sport is a complex activity whose product is as much a quality experience as it is meat or trophies. On the other hand the purpose of commercial hunting for food is simply to harvest a product such as meat and skins.
