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.
To assess the risk that rapid resistance to CyHV-3 might develop, we undertook an extension to the integrated modelling with the objectives of defining what exactly is “resistance” in the context of viral biocontrol, and to elucidate the mechanisms (pathways) by which it might develop....
The present study, undertaken by University of Canberra, was developed to investigate the potential to engender support for the recommendations included in the NCCP byassessing potential impacts of carp control on different groups, and ensuring key stakeholders are able to access, understand and...
With little fanfare or attention, commercial fishing in the Gippsland Lakes in eastern Victoria ceased on 1 April 2020. The small-scale commercial fishery, which was crucial to the establishment of the town of Lakes Entrance roughly 150 years ago, was closed by the Victorian State...
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.
