Kawaikoi Stream Dip Survey

As part of a larger study looking at the ecology and potential control of larval Culex quinquefasciatus, USGS and Hawaii DOFAW personnel surveyed a kilometer long reach of the Kawaikoi Stream for larval mosquitoes (Culex quinquefasciatus), potential larval mosquito habitat and non-target aquatic macroinvertebrates during late summer, September through November 2016 and 2017. Along each 10-meter section of the stream, 20 dip samples were taken (when possible) to record the presence of mosquito immatures (larvae and pupae) and macroinvertebrate encountered. Sampling was restricted to stream margins, perched pools, rock holes and back waters. No swift water was sampled. The number of discreet pools per 10-meter section was also recorded as a measure of potential larval mosquito habitat.
