Answer:

Private Stream Fish : EXCLUDABLE , RIVAL & PRIVATE GOOD

River Fish : NON EXCLUDABLE , RIVAL & COMMON GOODS

Explanation:

Excludable Goods can be feasibly prevented to be consumed by non payers . Rival goods consumption doesn't reduce their availability to be consumed by other consumers

Private stream fish are feasibly prevented to be used by others for free , so are excludable . However , catching of fish by one reduces the fishes to be caught by others & so is Rival . Such Excludable , Rival goods are 'Private Goods'

Free access river cant be feasibly prevented to be used by others for free , so are Non Excludable . However (similar) , catching of fish by one reduces the fishes to be caught by others & so is Rival . Such Non Excludable , Rival Goods are 'Common Goods' . These have over exploitation risk as per  a theory 'Tragedy of Commons'
