Southern Research Sratlon, Oxford, Mississippi 38633, USA A6slracr.-The rcstrictcd movement paradigm (RMP), which states adult fish do not move out of a pool or rcstricted stream reach, does not fully define the movements of stream fishes. Although stream fishes may spend thc majority of their time in n home pool, they also make regular exploratory trips away from the home pool. Rccapturc of Ouachita Highlands atream fish marked with passive integrated transponder (PIT) tags showcd that the majority of thc uniqucly marked fish in this study were in the pools of initial collection. The following percentages of marked fish were recaptured outside the pool of initial collection: 12% of creek chub S~molilusnlromnculullu-; 33% of blackspotted topminnow Fundulus olivuceus; 12% oC green sunfish LPpomis cyanellus; and 14% of longear sunfish Lepomls muguloris. Standard lengths and weights did no1 dilrer significantly hetween nonmobile and mobile recaptured fish, and patterns of nlultiple recaptures indicated exploratory, round-trip movements. Such regular exploratory trips suggest that the area of use by and critical habitat for stream fishes may be greater than conlrnonly cstimatcd. Populations of strcam fishes havc been viewed as completely homogcncous and mobile (Linfield 1985; Fausch and Young 1995) or au relatively discrete units exhibiting restric~ed movement (Gerking 1953; Hill and Grossman 1987; Heggencs ct al. 1991). These two views of fish movement havc profoundly diffcrcnt implications for the management and conservation of stream fishes. Therefore, a better understnnding of the patterns and proccsscs of fish movement is necessary to dclincatc fish populations. Many studies of fish movement have indicated that strcam fishes arc scdcntary, never leaving a particular puol or stream rcach (c.g., Bcrra and Gunning 1972). Gowan el al, (1 994) termed this concept the "restricted movement paradigm" (RMP). Restricted movement is defined as recapture from thc arca whcrc the fishes were initially marked and rclcascd (Gcrking 1959). Examination of the data from such studies shows that although * Corresponding author: IeesmittyQaol.com Prcscnt address: 1702 Devine Sweet, Jackuon, Mississippi 39202, USA.

Recejvcd January 8, 1998; acccptcd Novcmbcr 11, 1998 a majority of fishes studied are sedentary, leading authors to conclude that movement is restricted, a proportion of fishes in every study do move, sometimes for long distanccs (Gerking 1953; Hill and Grossman 1987; Heggcncs ct al. 1991). Funk (1957) proposed that populations of fishcs arc composed of both mobile and sedentary fractions. Few studies have addressed whether individuals exhibit onc stratcgy or the other exclusively or switch from mobile to sedentary behaviors. However, a study of individually marked brown trout Sulmo trutta showed frequent-switching behavior (Harcup et al. 1984). Populations of fishes are not likely to be complctcly scdcntary. Studies of recolonization suggest that fishes arc rnobilc and rcspond rapidly to habitat in which no fish arc found (Larimorc ct al. 1959; Peterson and Bayley 1993). Recolonization of defaunated stretches of stream can begin immcdiatcly aftcr a disturbance, and sedentary species such as longcar sunfish kpornis megalotis can recolonize within 2 wccks (Pctcrson and Bayley 1993). The identity of such colonists has been poorly studied, but rapid colonizcrs may represent thc mobilc cornponcnt of a nearby population. We examined the RMP by investigating patterns of movement of individually marked fishes in a Ouachita Highlands stream.

Low rccupturc riitcs, a common characteristic of markrecapture st~ldiesof Gshcs, suggcst mnrkcd fishes move out of the stlidy area (Gowun et al. 1994).

Kecaplure ratcs incrcuscd us the study progressed, supporting the theory of rcstl-iclcd movcmcnt. A less-than-perfect recapture I-ate is due to sumpling incfficicncy, fish mortality, arid thc ahscncc o f thosc fish making cxploratory or permanent trips oil1 of (he collecting Lirca. Annual natural ~nortalityof bluegills can be 56% (Ricker 1945). The pcrccnl of sunfish making cxploratory trips away from a home pool in our study was 1214%,so the percentage of lagged fish available for recapture may have been as low as 30% if mortulity ratcs upproachcd that for bluegill. The final ovcl-all ~-ccaptul.crutc obtaincd in August 1996 was 37%. This suggesls we ohtaincd good rcsults from our sumpling efforts. We conclude lhal the samplcs collected provided reprcscntutivc data on the lnovcrncnt behavior of the study species. The reslrictcd movcrncnt paradigm does not fully define movements of stream lishcs. In many home range studies, home range is dclincd as thc nrca truvclcd routinely (c.g., Berra and Gunning 1972; Hill and Grossman 1987) and hcncc as the TAIII.I: 4.-Movcmcnl behaviors of Littlc (ilar.ypcau Crcck suntishcs rccup~uretlIwo or more rimcs.

Regular explorutory ~novcments,however, exlend lhc scale of imporlancc of hubitut bcyond that of a home pool. Homc rangc studies should encompass Lhc range of movcmcnt hy the nlobilc component, which may also rcprcscnt common movement behavior. The purpose of exploratory movcmcnts may hc to carry out some rouline process that rcquircs a dit'fcrcut location. For example, Clapp c i al. ( 1990) found that brown trout required a variety of habitats for a variely o f purpcwcs. In addition Lo dcfining the scale of habitat importance, routine exploratory movclncnt of strcarn fishes is a mechanism for recnlonixation hccuusc it provides fishes an opportunity to assess altcmalivc bubitats. Sheldo11 and Meffe (1994) concluded that rccolonization i s a rcsult of high mobility and "density-proportional cquilibriurn." Recolonization occurs by irnrnigralion balancing cmigratinn with a continuing turnover. This sludy demonstratcd rclativcly restricted rnovctucnt of stream fishes, suggesting [hat the sclected species spcnd thc majority of their lime in u honlc pool hut make visits inlo udjuccnt pools. This behavior irnplies that lishcrics managers should consider larger areas of habilal as critical to stream lish populations. Additional information about the frequency and cxtcnl of cxploratory mclvcn~cntis needed in order to predict thc rcsponsc of fish populations to disturbance, thc impact of stocking fish, and the spatial requirements nccdcd to manage a species.
