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 CSIRO Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) Fish Diseases Laboratory (AFDL), in collaboration with Biosecurity Queensland, conducted a laboratory-based evaluation of commercially available point-of-care (POC) tests designed to detect white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in the field. The...
This FRDC funded research focuses on the obstacles to, and drivers of, positive practice change relating to aquatic animal welfare (AAW) in Australia’s wild-catch commercial fishing and finfish aquaculture sectors. It was conducted between December 2019 and March 2022 in response to...
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 Project aimed to improve understanding of how and to what extent certain barriers keep the seafood industry from making substantive progress towards building greater stakeholder and community trust. The Project was designed to meet this aim by researching obstacles to, and enablers of,...
