With the walleye that are collected on the lake, How many does it take to get eggs to support the hatchery? And, What is the cost to bring them to the point of stocking? And how would that compare to the price of stocking stripers? Just curious?

John Williams, fisheries biologist in Williamsburg, can tell you the numbers of fish/eggs necessary to stock, but I would only be guessing. Walleye are hatched in jars that tumble the eggs with a very basic filtering system. The cost difference between hatching walleye vs stripers would be a push, but the fisheries folks could probably give you an exact dollar amoount. However, it's not an astronomical amount of money.
