Adult emergence rates were very low in experimental quadrats with a natural complex of predators including aquatic insects and fishes, the average being 0.02. Higher the predator density, lower the emergence rate. Emergence rates increased notably in enemy-free cages where partial drying and unsuitable quality of water were main mortality factors. The mortality rate due to predation was considered to be density-independent and less influenced by the yearly fluctuation of weather conditions than the mortality rate due to drying or unsuitable quality of water. It was also considered that chemical control in spring or early summer is ineffective to suppress the peak abundance in midsummer and consequently to prevent the JE epidemic. Chemical control in this early season may even be followed by population explosion in midsummer through the elimination of predators. It is desirable that control in this early season depends on methods highly specific to mosquitoes including tritaeniorhynchus such as the application of mass-produced parasites to breeding places. Adult control by light traps operated at animal houses may be most practical at the present time of Japan., 熱帯医学 Tropical medicine 22(1). p47-59, 1980}, pages = {47--59}, title = {休閑田におけるコガタアカイエカ幼虫の生存率と死亡要因}, volume = {22}, year = {1980} }
