<P> Walleye ( Sander vitreus , synonym Stizostedion vitreum ) is a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and to the Northern United States . It is a North American close relative of the European Zander , also known as the pikeperch . The walleye is sometimes called the yellow walleye to distinguish it from the blue walleye , which is a subspecies that was once found in the southern Ontario and Quebec regions , but are now presumed extinct . However , recent genetic analysis of a preserved ( frozen ) ' blue walleye ' sample suggests that the blue and yellow walleye were simply phenotypes within the same species and do not merit separate taxonomic classification . </P>
