Following the release of 4619 opercular tagged bream in Tjeukemeer, 101 fish were subsequently recaptured outside the lake (1969–72). The maximum distance travelled was 60 km. Although the initial dispersal of fish out of the lake appeared to be random there was some evidence of homing once fish had gained access to the IJsselmeer.
