Abstract
Variations in density of adults of Anopheles merus D50% sea water in the breeding sites. Laboratory breeding experiments showed that the larvae were usually capable of completing development in 00 and 9305%, sea water equivalent. In tests against first-instar larvae of other soluble chemical salts normally present in sea water, the highest LC50 (1225g/litre) of potassium carbonate.Keywords
