Cage structure | No. of mosquitoes | Egg production per cage (104) | Female fecundity | Egg hatch rate (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Big cage A | 12,000 | 53.3 ± 1.1a | 59.2 ± 1.2a | 90.4 ± 0.2a |
Big cage B-1 | 20,000 | 46.6 ± 1.7a | 31.1 ± 1.1b | 88.6 ± 1.1a |
Big cage B-2 | 20,000 | 63.6 ± 1.9b | 42.4 ± 1.3c | 87.9 ± 1.3a |
Within each column, values followed by different superscript letters were statistically different in the same treatment cage according to ANOVA analysis and Tukey post-hoc test (P < 0.05)
