Some Wisconsin lakes may lose their walleye, studies suggest. How can fisheries adapt?

The fish species — one of Wisconsin’s most prized catches, and a cultural staple for the state — needs a pretty particular environment to survive, explained Holly Embke, a research fish biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

What You Need To Know

• Walleye require cool temperatures and specific conditions — and they`ve been losing ground in Wisconsin
  
  
• A research team removed hundreds of thousands of other fish from a lake, but didn`t see walleye bounce back
  
  
• As Wisconsin warms up, managers may not be able to keep walleye in all the places they used to live, experts say
  
  
• Focusing on "bright spots" and fishing for different species can help fisheries adapt to Wisconsin`s climate future
