Abstract

A method is described for sampling aquatic insects using black light. Trap design, description of its placement, and conversion to a fumigator is explained. Total numbers of emerging insects captured by aquatic light trap are given and compared with catches in surface and bottom cone traps. Overall effectiveness of the black light trap is discussed.
