An extensive fish fauna survey was carried out in Sundargarh, a malaria-endemic district in Orissa, during 1988 to 1990 to identify and evaluate the indigenous larvivorous fishes for mosquito control. In all, 57 species belonging to 19 families under 6 orders were found in the local water bodies. On laboratory evaluation against anopheline and culicine larvae, six potential larvivorous fishes, viz. Aplocheilus panchax, Oryzias melastigma, Oreochromis mossambicus, Gambusia affinis, Danio (B.) rerio and Esomus danricus were selected. Feasibility of mass multiplication of these fishes in village ponds for operational use is being studied.
1988年至1990年期间，在奥里萨邦疟疾流行区孙德尔加尔开展了一项广泛的鱼类区系调查，以识别和评估用于控制蚊虫的本土食蚊鱼类。在当地水体中总共发现了6目19科的57种鱼类。通过对按蚊和库蚊幼虫的实验室评估，选出了六种潜在的食蚊鱼类，即潘氏青鳉、黑点青鳉、莫桑比克罗非鱼、食蚊鱼、斑马鱼和丹氏似野结鱼。目前正在研究在乡村池塘大规模繁殖这些鱼类以供实际应用的可行性。
