There are numerous risks to water utilities that may arise in the even of mass fish mortalities, and an essential need to understand the potential impacts of mass carp mortalities on water treatment facilities with different treatment methods and capacities around Australia. Different biomass...
The Wedge Group was engaged by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) on
behalf of the National Carp Control Program (NCCP), to deliver a project exploring possible engineering
and technology options to address the range of high-biomass clean-up and disposal scenarios...
The present study, undertaken by Sefton Associates Pty. Ltd., was developed to investigate communication and stakeholder engagement in a manner that is professional, effective, respectful, accessible and transparent.
The NCCP impacts a significant number of stakeholders, each with their...
This study was undertaken by Wedekind Gutachten, Switzerland. Potentially synergistic genetic biocontrol technologies can be grouped into those that do not
involve engineered DNA sequences and those that do. The former include the “sterile male” and
the “Trojan Y...
This project, undertaken by CSIRO, aimed to determine the most important form of transmission of CyHV-3 to Cyprinus carpio (common carp). This was addressed through experiments to determine:
(1) The relative amounts of virus in the skin and mucus of infected fish vs shed...
This report based on systematic quantitative literature reviews aims to identify best practice for testing to determine the viral susceptibility of non-target species to CyHV-3.
The present study, undertaken by Charles Sturt University, was developed to investigate the potential for commercial, or subsidised, fishery exploitation to effectively control carp populations in Australia. Using published literature examples of fish (and other) vertebrate pest-removal...
