Rice paddies were an important phase of the program, with 83 fields planted. Some 1,257,309 foundation stock fish were used for initial plants. G. affinis are placed in holding areas in fall and by following April, sufficient reproduction has occurred to make foundation plantings. For first time, sufficient foundation stock was available for 1963 plantings. Establishment and reproduction were exceptional and mosquito control in planted areas needed no chemical control. If sufficient foundation stock in available, program will be expanded in 1964. (,Mosquito Abatement). Please note that these images are extracted f
