Fishes as biocontrol agents were used since past few decades. Two locally available murrels species of Assam – Channa punctata and Channa stewartii have been used to observe their larvicidal efficacy during daytime and in the evening with artificial light in three different life stages - fry, juvenile and adult after 12 and 24 hr starvation providing two densities of mosquito larvae (n=50 and n=100) and compared with the three life stages of alien fish Poecilia reticulata (guppy). Larvicidal efficacy of native fishes (murrel) were found significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the exotic ones.

Abstract:

More than 3000 species of mosquitoes are responsible for millions of death annually. Adult females of most species have proboscis to feed on blood of many hosts such as mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and even other arthropods. They use blood not for their own nourishments but as a source of protein for their eggs. In addition many species can ingest pathogens while biting and transmit them to host, which makes them vectors of many diseases like malaria, dengue, Chikungunya, Zika, encephalitis, yellow fever, filariasis, West Nile etc. Biocontrol agents may be predators, pathogens,

Mosquitoes are known to transit many diseases like malaria, filarial, Japanese encephalitis, yellow fever and dengue. In India alone approximately 40 million people suffer from mosquito borne diseases annually.

But due to the health hazards associated with the use of chemical insecticides new biological control measures are being tried in the last few years.

Abstract The mere presence of predators causes prey organisms to display predation‐avoidance strategies. Predator presence is often communicated through predator‐released chemical signals. Ovipositing female mosquitoes of several species are repelled by unknown signals released from larvivorous fish.
