Abstract

The locations of tagged parr and fin-clipped fry were observed from summer through early winter in a 1000-ft (328-m) study area of a small coastal stream. Tagged parr were usually found in or near places of original capture which are herein designated as homes. Parr whose homes were in pools, which appeared to be as suitable habitats as riffles, and those in adjacent riffles appeared to stay in their respective habitats. Some returned to their homes after having been moved as much as 700 ft (213 m) upriver or downriver. Fry were most numerous in shallow riffles and appeared to remain within small areas of the stream during summer but moved into parr habitats, the pools and deep riffles in autumn.
