Abstract

Breeding sites for Simulium venustum, Simulium arcticum, Simulium pugetense, Simulium hunteri, Simulium canadense, and Simulium decorum were found in the Vancouver area. Addition of juvenile hormone analogues to the rearing water of S. decorum resulted in virtually complete inhibition of adult emergence.
