Abstract:ObjectiveWe evaluated the effect of a 381‐mm minimum length limit (MLL) on saugeye (female Walleye Sander vitreus × male Sauger S. canadensis) population and fishery characteristics implemented in Ohio reservoirs in 2011.MethodsUsing a before‐after–control‐impact study design (n = 6 control populations and n = 11 impact populations that received the MLL), we compared total CPUE, age‐2+ CPUE, proportional stock density‐harvestable (381‐mm), and length at age 2 (to index growth) determined from standardized gill… Show more
