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. 3, record 1, English, - population%20status

Volumetric estimates of fish in holding bins(converted to weight) comprise a more accurate method for deriving total catch weight. To apply this technique, first calculate the weight capacity of the holding bin from its volume. If the bin is cubic or rectangular, multiply its length(L), width(W), and height(W) to derive volume … If the holding area is odd-shaped, draw a diagram that separates it into symmetrical portions, calculate volume for each portion, then add these volumes. 1, record 2, English, - total%20catch%20weight

The total biomass is a measure of the total size of the population. It is the total weight of the population; it is composed of juveniles, the smallest of which(pre-recruits) are too small to catch and have not yet been recruited to the fishery; slightly older fish(recruits) which are large enough to be caught; and adult spawners. 2, record 3, English, - total%20biomass

La biomasse totale est une mesure de la taille d'une population dans son ensemble. Il s'agit du poids total de la population; celle-ci se compose de jeunes sujets dont les plus petits (prérecrues) sont trop petits pour être capturés dans la pêche; de sujets un peu plus âgés (recrues) qui sont assez gros pour être pêchés; et de géniteurs adultes. 2, record 3, French, - biomasse%20totale
