To understand the effects of fish predator's kairomones on mosquitoes' oviposition, we established an experiment using gravid females. Kairomones concentrations were established using One individual fish was placed inside containers with varying water levels (1 L, 5 L, and 10 L of water). The fish were kept in the containers for 24 hours and were removed immediately at the start of each trial in order to have the kairomones remnants. Twenty gravid adult females of and were allowed to lay eggs on oviposition site with various treatments: (1) control without any kairomones; (2) kairomone remnant in 1 L of water; (3) kairomone remnant in 5 L of water; and (4) kairomone remnant in 10 L of water. There are significant differences between the numbers of eggs laid by both species for each different treatment (F = 9.131, df = 16, <0.001). However, fewer eggs were laid by compared to in the presence of kairomone remnants. This suggested that are significantly affected by the kairomones itself and have ability to detect the residual kairomone presence from
为了解食鱼动物的信息素对蚊子产卵的影响，我们使用怀孕雌蚊进行了一项实验。通过将一条鱼放置在不同水位（1升、5升和10升水）的容器中来设置信息素浓度。鱼在容器中放置24小时，并在每次试验开始时立即取出，以留下信息素残余物。让20只怀孕的成年雌蚊在经过不同处理的产卵地点产卵：（1）无任何信息素的对照；（2）1升水中的信息素残余物；（3）5升水中的信息素残余物；（4）10升水中的信息素残余物。两种蚊子在每种不同处理下的产卵数量之间存在显著差异（F = 9.131，自由度 = 16，<0.001）。然而，在有信息素残余物的情况下，[物种名称2]产下的卵比[物种名称1]少。这表明[物种名称2]受到信息素本身的显著影响，并且有能力检测到来自[具体来源]的残余信息素的存在。
