| Angler exploitation of anchor-tagged saugers in the lower Tennessee River. |
| Fluctuating weather and water conditions resulted in scattered walleyes and saugers. |
| Back-crossing of saugeyes with saugers or walleyes in larger waterways could lead to loss of genetic identity in parental stocks. |
| As a result, Iowa waters of the Mississippi River are off limits and walleyes and saugers 15 inches and longer are legal to weigh-in. |
| Walleyes and saugers spawned at the same time, but unlike saugers, walleyes spawned in a variety of habitats. |
| This study examined genetic variation and population structure of 1023 saugers in 12 populations from the Midwest and Great Plains regions of North America. |
