EFFECTS OF MOSQUITOFISH (GAMBUSIA AFFINIS) ON TWO VERNAL POOL ORGANISMS, <U>AMBYSTOMA</U> <U>CALIFORNIENSE</U> LARVAE AND LINDERIELLA OCCIDENTALIS - English

California tiger salamanders, Ambystoma californiense, and California fairy shrimp, Linderiella occidentalis, two California endemics that occur in vernal pools, are threatened by loss of suitable habitat. Such loss of habitat is known to occur due to land type conversion, but may also occur when exotic species, such as mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), are introduced to a body of water. In two separate experiments, we tested the effects of G. affinis on A. californiense larvae and on L. occidentalis to determine the extent to which fish affected abundance of these species.

Gambusia use recommendations - English

Gambusia use in an area is dependent upon sufficient water levels existing for the fish to survive and access any larval mosquitoes present. Although an eventual drydown may eliminate the fish from an area, the area should be considered for stocking if a few months larval control can be achieved.

Gambusia effectiveness in NJ - English
URL: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~insects/gamb2.htm

This paper is the culmination of over 3 yr of research by various mosquito control agencies throughout NJ. The idea for the research came from questions raised by the NJ Mosquito Control Association (NJMCA) Research and Development Committee about Gambusia affinis stocking rates and effectiveness of the fish in various habitats.

The San Marcos Gambusia was last collected in the wild in 1983. The genus Gambusia contains more than 30 species. Similar in appearance to the mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis), the San Marcos Gambusia has a prominant dark stripe along the upper edges of the dorsal fin.

Biologybase: Keeping Gambusia affinis, the Western Mosquitofish - English
URL: http://www.interaktv.com/fishanat/Gambusiaaffinis.html

Gambusia affinis is no longer considered the same species as the eastern mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrooki, which occurs east of the natural range of G. affinis. These two fishes, the western and eastern mosquitofishes, are some of the most studied fishes. The papers written on their reproduction alone would fill several file cabinets (I've seen a couple cabinets filled with such papers). Despite this, they are probably poorly known to most people in the aquarium hobby.
