Influence of fish kairomones on the ovipositing behavior of Chaoborus imagines
Article Abstract:
The phantom midge, Chaoborus, use chemical clues to detect predatory fish and avoid depositing their eggs into bodies of water containing fish kairomones. This was proven by setting up cages with 2 plastic containers into which Chaoborus could oviposit. One container was connected to a flow-through system holding fish kairomones. The Chaoborus showed a preference for ovipositing into fish-free water.

In situ aggregate analysis camera (ISAAC): a quantitative fine-grained suspended material
Article Abstract:
The article explores the usage of the in situ aggregate analysis camera system to research fine-grained suspended particles in some estuarine and shallow-water environments. The details of the still-photography system and examples of the results from aquatic environments are given.
