| Fingerling - Fingerlings are one to six months old and can range from a size of one to twelve inches depending on the species. Walleye fingerlings range from three to eight inches each fall. |
| Yearling - Yearling fish are at least one year old. A one-year-old fish can range from three to twenty inches depending on the species. Walleye yearlings average from six to twelve inches. |
| Adult - Adult fish are fish that have reached maturity. Depending on the species, maturity can be reached at two years of age. Walleye reach maturity between the ages of four and six years. |
These fish consumption guidelines help people make choices about which fish to eat and how often. Following the guidelines enables people to reduce their exposure to contaminants while still enjoying the many benefits from fish.

Cedar Lake is a 169-acre, class 24 lake, located near downtown Minneapolis. Cedar Lake lies within a chain of lakes that includes Brownie Lake, Lake of the Isles, and Lake Calhoun. All lakes are connected via shallow canals. The sportfish community consists of various sunfish species, black crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, tiger muskellunge (musky), walleye, and yellow perch.
Tiger musky, walleye, northern pike, and largemouth bass were sampled in low numbers. Likely originating from the 2002 Lake Calhoun fingerling stocking, one age-3 tiger musky measuring nearly 29.0 inches was captured in a gill net. Nine walleyes between 12.0 and 25.0 inches were also sampled during this survey. Similar to the assessment performed in 2003, all sampled walleyes likely originated from past Lake Calhoun stockings (1997 fingerling, 2000 yearling, and 2003 fingerling). Apparently, both tiger muskies and walleyes are migrating from Lake Calhoun via canals. Twelve northern pike, averaging 27.5 inches and 5.0 pounds, and one largemouth bass, measuring 20.2 inches and weighing 5.2 pounds, were additionally sampled.
Cedar Lake has a slow growing panfish community consisting of small sunfish, black crappie, and yellow perch. Bluegills were moderately abundant and rarely exceeded 5.5 inches. Of the 53 black crappies sampled, 87% were below 7.0 inches, with no fish exceeding 8.0 inches. Forty-four yellow perch between 4.5 and 8.0 inches, 37 pumpkinseeds between 4.5 and 6.0 inches, 3 hybrid sunfish, and one green sunfish were additionally sampled.
Four bowfin (dogfish), three black bullheads, one yellow bullhead, and one white sucker were also captured during this assessment.
