A North American relative of the European pikeperch, the walleye or yellow pike (Sander vitreus, formerly Stizostedion vitreum) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and the northern United States; it is believed to be an introduced species in the mid-Atlantic states. A genetical unique strain is known to inhabit the Mobile River Basin. The common name walleye comes from the fact their eyes, not unlike cats, reflect light in a unique fashion. ...
