Abstract

Aim: Mosquito are a major problem in almost all tropical and subtropical countries, as they are responsible for the transmission of pathogens which causes different diseases. Study Design: The present study deals with the comparison of Puntius conchonius and Gambusia affinis for feeding rate of mosquito larvae. Place and Duration of Work: The mosquito larvae collected from Badapur, Tal. Yeola Dist. Nashik between 2010 -2011. Methodology: Fishes introduced into experimental jar individually and acclimatized for 1 hrs. Then 200 to 500 larvae introduced into jar for each fish. Readings were taken after 10 min, 20 min, 30 min initially and then after 1 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 9 hr, 12 hr and 24 hours, respectively. It determines feeding rate, food consumption and larvivorous potential of fishes. Results: The comparative account of the feeding rate of two different species which came as Puntius conchonius > Gambisia affinis. Whereas, when the food consumption pattern was different i.e. Gambisia affinis > Puntius conchonius. Conclusion: The length and weight increases, the feeding rate also increases. It was found that the larvivorous activity of the ornamental fishes was greater than the well-known Gambusia affinis.

滴虫与亲缘赤豆对蚊子幼虫摄食率的比较

目的:蚊子是几乎所有热带和亚热带国家的一个主要问题，因为它们负责传播导致不同疾病的病原体。研究设计:本研究比较了孔雀鱼和附属鱼对蚊子幼虫摄食率的影响。工作地点和时间:在塔尔巴达布尔采集蚊子幼虫。约拉区，2010 -2011年。方法:将鱼单独放入实验罐中，驯化1小时。然后每条鱼入200 ~ 500条鱼苗。分别在10分钟、20分钟、30分钟和1小时、3小时、6小时、9小时、12小时、24小时后取读数。它决定了鱼类的摄食率、食用量和捕食潜力。结果:对两种不同食虫种类的食虫率进行了比较计算，并将其命名为conchonius Puntius > affinia Gambisia。然而，当食物消费模式不同时，即亲冈比亚>孔雀鱼。结论:体长和体重增加，摄食率增加。结果表明，这些观赏鱼的摄食活性要高于著名的亲缘甘鱼(Gambusia affinis)。
