Abstract: To establish the method for transportation of sterilized adults of the melon fly, Dacus cucurbitae COQUILLETT, recovery speed of adult flies anesthetized by chilling and various gases were investigated. Adult flies anesthetized by chilling recovered in a short time after transfer to normal temperatures, regardless of duration chilling period. A much longer time was needed for recovery from anesthetization with CO2 and N2, depending on the period of exposure. The flight ability of adults anesthetized with CO2 gas was retarded more severely than that of adults which were anesthetized with N2 gas or chilled.
