Prey selection by mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis) in California rice fields: effect of vegetation and prey species.

Mosquitofish are widely used for biological control of mosquito larvae in rice fields, but the presence of different types of vegetation or alternative arthropod prey affects the performance of the fish. Feeding experiments were conducted in 4 rice field vegetation zones. Overall, predation was maximal in young and mature rice, moderate in the submerged naiad vegetation, and minimal in areas of...
