Abstract
Culex salinarius was found to be the dominant species in 9 of the 10 largest Culex populations in New Jersey, USA. Sampling revealed that larval habitats included coastal brackish and freshwater impoundments, a stop ditch and a dredge deposit zone. Virtually all of these habitats were manmade, and many were constructed to control the saltmarsh mosquito, Aedes sollicitans . These data demonstrate the need for more thorough evaluation of marsh management techniques to avoid replacing one nuisance species with another.
