Sorry for the question;
Since Walleye have little to no success of spawning in ponds (per previous Pond Boss strings), and Saugeye are basically sterile, why bother with Saugeye at all? Walleye are much easier to get for stocking ponds - at least in the MW and NE.
What is the benefit if both of them don't spawn? Does one MEASURABLY feed differently than another? Is one more hardy than the other? Availability is worse and cost is probably higher with the Saugeye (guess).
SAE Grow at nearly twice the rate of WAE to year 2.
SAE are not as picky when it comes to forage and are an EXCELLENT tool to control a less than desirable shaped BG or BCP.
SAE are very productive in turbid waters that inhibit even average WAE growth.
SAE outfight the WAE 2 to 1, yet the same on the table/frying pan.
Bill hits on the main limiting factor on this species..availability.
