English-Danish translations for larva

  • larveJeg vil kort erindre om, at den genetiske majs er blevet gjort resistent over for et skadeligt insekts larve. I will briefly recall the fact that transgenic maize has been made resistant to the larva of a crop-devastating insect. Videnskabsmænd har for nylig afsløret, at ligesom torsken æder nordsørejer, æder nordsørejer torskelarver. Scientists have recently revealed that, just as the cod fish will eat prawns, prawns eat cod larvae. Det er imidlertid også en kendsgerning, at rejerne lever af torskelarver, så når torsken først er væk, kommer de sikkert aldrig tilbage. But it is also a fact that prawns feed on cod larvae, so once the cod have gone they may never return.
