To estimate the influence of fish stocks on stocking effectiveness of the ayu, Plecoglossus altivelis, the dispersal patterns and recapture rates of wild and hatchery reared fish were determined through a stocking experiment in the River Tsubusa. During short-term dispersion just after release in May, two groups of hatchery fish (HR-A, HR-B) were mainly dispersed downstream, while wild fish (LAKE) swam upstream. However, another wild fish (ACCL) reared for 43 days before release had a lesser tendency to disperse than the others. Fish swimming upstream after release were larger in size for every group than those going downstream. During settlement and downstream migration periods (June-October), most recapture occurred in the area within ±2 km from the point of release. LAKE distributed more upsteram and HR-A, more downstream than the others. Recapture rate during fishing season was highest in LAKE (29.2%), and HR-B (5.9%), ACCL (1.3%) and HR-A (0.8%) following in order, indicating the superiority of the wild stock (LAKE) and a disagreeable effect of temporal rearing on stocking effectiveness of wild fish (ACCL). In conclusion, the stocking effectiveness represented by recapture rate depends on the dis-persal pattern after release: fish with stronger tendency to swim upstream resulted in higher re-capture rate, and are thus regarded as having a good fish quality.
