The article details a WW II era mosquito control effort under the U S Department of Agriculture with funding from the Civil Works Administration. Thousands of workers across 22 states dig shallow trenches to admit tiny coastal minnows into salt marsh breeding grounds to prey on mosquitoes. It notes the method avoids draining pools and oil smothering and cites the salt marsh mosquito breeding on low ground. A tropical minnow named Gam is highlighted as most valuable in the control effort.
