I work at a state fish hatchery and also help out at another. Mine is a Tiger musky and walleye hatchery and the one I help out at is a walleye hatchery. We just finished out walleye egg take yeasterday as a matter of fact. it was a good run but ccold. 300,000,000 + eggs ! from roughly 5,000 ripe females with a spawning ratio of 2 males to 1 female that makes about 15,000 adult fish stipped and easily three times that go through the hatchery every year, all of which are handled when they are initially sorted by sex and then sorted daily for ripeness. Lots of fish and lots of fun! I don't know all fish. But I know walleyes and tigers pretty well. no offense taken.
