柳条鱼(Gambusia affinis)又叫食蚊鱼,体长2～6厘米,属亚热带胎生鱼类。它具有体型小,繁殖快,适应性强,嗜食蚊幼虫的特点,且对环境无害。早在19世纪已被用来防制蚊类,近年来,由于蚊类对多种化学杀虫剂产生抗药性及对环境保护的要求,重新提倡用柳条鱼防制蚊类,已引起国内外学者的重视。我们于1979年11月～1980年10月进行了这方面的实验观察。 Wicker fish (Gambusia affinis), also known as mosquito fish, body length of 2 to 6 cm, is a sub-tropical viviparous fish. It has a small size, fast propagation, adaptability, mosquito-addicted mosquito larvae characteristics, and harmless to the environment. As early as the 19th century has been used to control mosquitoes, mosquitoes in recent years, due to resistance to a variety of chemical insecticides and environmental protection requirements, re-promote the prevention of mosquitoes with wicker fish, has caused domestic and foreign Scholar’s attention. We conducted an experiment in this area from November 1979 to October 1980.
