Research Abstract |
We identified the gene which encoded the nest, net, and larvalnet protein (LNP) made by Stenopsyche marmoratalarvae. We measured gene expression of population in the field and considered whether we could apply it for prediction of the time of its emergence in large quantities from the river. As a result, it was suggested that expression of Smsp-4 increased, from June to September when the water temperature is high, at the time it emerges in large quantities. Because the results well accorded with LNP gene expression of the analysis of age structure of S. marmorata, application to new life cycle assessments which used gene expression of LNPwas feasible.
