Abstract:

Biomass production of four species of Carabus was studied. As it appeared, production due to reproduction was an almost constant part (8.7 to 10.8%) of the total production. Production during larval development ranged from 32.7 to 49.7% of production due to growth. Production of a generation per 100 m2 ranged from 1,017 mg dry weight (C. nemoralis Müll), to 1,779 mg dry weight (C. glabratus Payk.). A method of approximate estimation of production is presented.
