The steep slope of the ISOCAM 15 μm number counts indicates that infrared galaxies have strongly evolved since z ∼ 1 − 1.5. A nearly complete spectroscopic sample of ISOCAM galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN) shows that their redshift distribution is peaked around z ∼ 0.8. We show that the 7 μm luminosity of local galaxies is correlated with their 8-1000 μm luminosity, and therefore star formation rate (SFR). We use this correlation in the rest-frame of the ISOCAM galaxies to deduce their IR luminosities (∼ 4 × 1011L⊙), SFR (∼ 80 M⊙yr−1) and contribution to the peak of the cosmic IR background (CIRB) at 140 μm. We find that they most probably produce the bulk of the CIRB.
