English-Dutch translations for larva

  • larve
    Ik wil er kort op wijzen dat de genetisch gemodificeerde maïs resistent is gemaakt tegen de larve van een schadelijk insect. I will briefly recall the fact that transgenic maize has been made resistant to the larva of a crop-devastating insect. Wetenschappers hebben onlangs onthuld dat garnalen de larven van de kabeljauw eten, net zoals de kabeljauw garnalen eet. Scientists have recently revealed that, just as the cod fish will eat prawns, prawns eat cod larvae. Maar het is ook een feit dat garnalen kabeljauwlarven eten, dus als de kabeljauw eenmaal is verdwenen, komt hij misschien nooit meer terug. But it is also a fact that prawns feed on cod larvae, so once the cod have gone they may never return.
