Prey adaptations, such as avoidance of predators, larval life history traits, and competition abilities, are potentially important in shaping community and metacommunity structure. One prey adaptation observed in aquatic ecosystems is the ability of prey to detect the presence of fish through water or air via kairomones released by fish. Non-visual camouflage, or non-visual crypsis, is a trait of a signal sender that hinders the receivers' ability to determine the presence or location of the sender. The pirate perch, Aphredoderus sayanus, presents an interesting potential example of chemical camouflage. The objectives of this study were to: 1) determine if ammonia is a kairomone detected and avoided by ovipositing species, 2) determine the possibility of a chemical cue masking ability in the pirate perch, and 3) assess the potential for chemical crypsis. These objectives were examined through measurement of oviposition preferences by mosquitoes, tree frogs, and beetles. In the study there was no evidence of a masking capability in pirate perch, and ammonia was not the detected chemical cue used by mosquitoes. Higher densities of pirate perch showed a trend of a negative impact on oviposition preference in both mosquitoes and tree frogs. The results indicated pirate perch are chemically camouflaged likely through low cue production to avoid detection.
