[The species composition of phytoplankton and its consumption at breeding sites for blood-sucking mosquitoes].

The phytoplankton specific composition and the character of its consumption by larvae of blood-sucking mosquitoes have been determined. Blue-green (5 species), green (13 species), Euglenophyta (12 species) and diatoms (38 species) algae have been found in the breeding places of Culicidae. The diatoms prevailed in the food of larvae.
