Using radio telemetry (external transmitters, 75x17mm diameter, 35g in air, ATS, Isanti, 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. Home range size determined by minimum convex polygons (MCP95) or Kernel Density Estimation (KDE95) varied from 0.001 to around 4km(2), but the average KDE50 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. Also observed was that the habitat was concentrated along the shoreline of the lake and closely related to the presence of aquatic vegetation. Home 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. %B International Conference of the “Research Network on Amazonian Ichthyofauna” (RIIA) %8 2014/09/30-2014/10/02 %$ 036 ; 040
