Effects of adult rearing density on egg production, female fecundity and egg hatch rate using Big cage A

No. of mosquitoes	DRS (cm2 / adult)	Egg production per cage (104)	Female fecundity	Egg hatch rate (%)
12,000	0.900	60.6 ± 2.1a	67.4 ± 2.3a	85.1 ± 1.7a
16,000	0.675	73.2 ± 2.6b	61.0 ± 2.1a	85.3 ± 1.5a
20,000	0.540	58.8 ± 3.1a	39.2 ± 2.1b	78.5 ± 2.4a

Within each column, values followed by different superscript letters are statistically different in the same treatment cage using ANOVA analysis and Tukey post-hoc test (P < 0.05)
