NCCP: Investigation of nutrient interception pathways to enable circumvention of cyanobacterial blooms following carp mortality events

This investigation was undertaken by the University of Adelaide and the University of Western Australia as a part of the research priorities for the National Carp Control Plan. While proposed biological control agents to reduce carp numbers may have positive impacts to aquatic ecosystems, it is...
