Other studies show that although poikilotherms are viable at varying temperatures some organisms like the salmon still struggle to survive or succeed as temperature fluctuate (Brett 1971). The fish loses energy and at different stages of their life‚ they have different temperature tolerances that ultimately regulate the fish species overall population and success (Bisson and Davis 1976).

Soybean‚ a species of legume native to East Asia‚ will be compared to the controlled larvicide. Soybean has an inhibitor that slows down the growth of an animal that makes it a possible larvicide.
