We are hoping to better understand the undocumented relationship and feeding habits between mature walleye and aquatic invertebrates. We are analyzing stomach contents using a combination of morphological identification and DNA metabarcoding, to quantify and determine the contents. Our field data was collected on Lake St. Joseph in Ontario's far north in association with the Old Post Lodge and Mitacs.
