Abstract
Two methods of estimation of the emergence and transfer of biomass of blood-sucking mosquitoes (Diрtera, Culicidae) were compared. It was found that the phenological and quantitative data obtained by the hydrobiological method (using an aquatic net and a dipper) and by using cone-shaped traps were different. Nevertheless, the general characteristics of the studied processes were similar. The results of the hydrobiological method showed that the total value of the annual transfer of biomass by Culicidae accounted for 3.157 g wet weight/m2 per year. According to the data obtained by using cone-shaped traps, the total value amounted to 3.457 g wet weight/m2 per year.
