The present communications activity, undertaken by The Fishing Guy (Rob Paxevanos), was developed to ensure the NCCP’s story is presented with integrity and is illuminated in the TV broadcast and multi media arena via the commissioning of the production detailed in this...
This research sought to build on the experimental evidence regarding non-target species susceptibility to CyHV-3. Three species which had been previously tested, but for which additional evidence would be needed to confirm non-susceptibility included Rainbow Trout, Silver Perch and Murray Cod.
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...
The present study, undertaken by Invasive Animals Ltd, was developed to address a need for incorporating living memory of waterway changes resulting from cyprinus carpio introduction into public discussion surrounding potential use of cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) as a biocontrol measure. There is...
This disease strategy for the control and eradication of white spot disease (WSD) is an integral part of the Australian Aquatic Veterinary Emergency Plan (AQUAVETPLAN).
AQUAVETPLAN disease strategy manuals are response manuals and do not include information about preventing the introduction of...
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...
The Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (the department) commissioned the independent research company Instinct and Reason to conduct a survey aimed at farm owners/managers in the Australian aquaculture industry. The survey aimed to investigate the level of...
