Like this?? It doesn't prove that the genetics change when they are placed in different waters. It proves that over eons of time the walleyes in different waters are genetically unique. They are still walleyes, their individual "clans" spawn in different areas and retain their genetic traits. They can be artificially made to spawn together, and are still walleyes. It does not prove that the fish are changed by being placed in a different body of water.
There are many different sub species of rainbow trout, and cutthroat trout. They can be forced to cross breed. But when you put a Bear Lake Cutthroat in Strawberry it doesn't change the DNA. It doesn't change the DNA of a walleye if you take fingerlings (or adults) from Lake Erie and put them in Utah Lake.
