[QUOTE="MSA, post: 36447, member: 193"] That walleye looks xanthic, which is genetic, and not caused by habitat or chemicals. There are several genetic color mutations that happen in animals. Melanistic for example would be black, hypomelanistic would be less or no black and be white or lighter in color, erythristic would be red, and so on. The blue walleyes are tinted blue in a few certain lakes from an algea or bacteria in the lake, like the greenbacks in Winnipeg from the minerals in the water. If one of these yellow walleye spawn with a normal one, about half the offspring will be yellow and most will at least carry the gene to pass that trait on to their offspring. [/QUOTE]
