Interesting article, with the massive bait existing in Seneca Lake I wonder if the introduction of Walleye might be a good idea ?

Does Seneca have a bait problem?  Alewives and Walleye don't really mix well together.  Kings or cohos might be another story.  I doubt the DEC will want to stock another non-native species into the system.

It seems to me that most of the research Cobleskill is doing is either creating a "frankenfish" for aquaculture, or fixing problems that were caused by introducing fish that weren't there to begin with.  So how are walleye, a warmer water fish,  supposed to do in one of the deepest coldest freshwater oligotrophic lakes on the planet?  And why aren't they there already, if the habitat is right, they could certainly get there through the canal system?   And of course, what will that do to the trout and salmon fishery, the native species of the lake, DEC has reported that they do not see walleye and trout as compatible in other Finger Lakes?
