Algal food selection and digestion by larvae of the pestiferous chironomid Chironomus crassicaudatus under laboratory conditions
Original language description
Feeding preference of Chironomus crassicaudatus 4th instars when fed on 5 algal species, Anabaena flos-aquae, Botryococcus braunii, Lyngbia cf. aeruginosa, Microcystis sp., and Scenedesmus quadricauda was studied under laboratory conditions. The variousalgal species were mixed in pairs at 1:1 ratio (fresh weight) to create 10 possible test combinations. The larvae were allowed to feed individually for 8 h on each algal mixture in tissue culture plates having 4 replicates. Four identical algal mixtureswere simultaneously used without larvae as controls. After feeding, larvae and excrement were removed, and remaining algae from feeding trials and controls were fixed with Lugol's solution; the final ratio of algal species in each mixture was determinedmicroscopically. Feeding preferences of C. crassicaudatus early 4th instars, in descending order, was L. cf. aeruginosa, A. flos-aquae, B. braunii, Microcystis sp., and S. quadricaudata. To evaluate algal digestibility, larval excremen...

Czech description
Byla sledována potravní preference a stravitelnost 5 druhů vodních řas pakomárem Chironomus crassicaudatus. Nejpreferovanějšími řasami byly Lyngbia cf. aeruginosa a Anabaena flos-aquae, které byly také nejsnáze stravitelné.
