about the fish
The North American Walleye
Walleye have white meat and a light delicate flavor and are described “… as the best tasting freshwater fish” (Seafood Source).
Walleye have a protein content of about 20% and a fat content less than 1%…, which are values that place them in the low fat and high protein category of food fishes. (NCRAC)


profitable commercial production
Production of walleye
Walleye have been raised for many years by both private and public sectors, mainly in outdoor pond type systems. New technologies are now being utilized to raise these fish to a much larger size in a shorter time. Indoor larval tank rearing systems have been demonstrated in Iowa for many years and now UWSP-NADF is using heated recycled water systems for grow out.
The method of production is in alignment with consumer expectations: BWF’s indoor Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) grows seafood in a clean environment that allows control to a degree not available in open system aquaculture (ponds, net-pens, flow-through). Recirculating systems maximize water re-use through the removal of solids, bio-filtration, gas balancing, oxygenation and disinfection
