  abstract = {{T}he objectives of this study were the evaluation of the adaptation capabilities of re-stocked {A}rapaima gigas and their individual behavioural movements (males and females) to the wild environment compared to wild individuals still present in {L}ake {I}miria, {P}eru and their survival rates. {U}sing radio telemetry (external transmitters, 75x17mm diameter, 35g in air, {ATS}, {I}santi, {MN}, {USA}), adaptation and behaviour of externally tagged, restocked cage-raised (124-143cm {TL}, n=14) and wild {A}.gigas (117-153cm {TL}, n=8), were monitored, focusing observations on individual behaviour and preferential localization in the lake. {H}ome range size determined by minimum convex polygons ({MCP}95) or {K}ernel {D}ensity {E}stimation ({KDE}95) varied from 0.001 to around 4km(2), but the average {KDE}50 was relatively small (0.1km(2)) in comparison to the tracked fish size (117-153cm {TL}), indicating strong residency and presumably territoriality in this species. {A}lso observed was that the habitat was concentrated along the shoreline of the lake and closely related to the presence of aquatic vegetation. {H}ome range localization estimates and apparent travelled distance of wild and restocked fishes were very similar, thereby suggesting a rapid and good acclimation and survival of cultured re-stocked fish to a natural environment.},
