One of the potential tools for controlling carp impacts is a biocontrol agent (ie, Cyprinid herpesvirus
3). If approved for use as a biocontrol for carp in Australia’s waterways, detailed information will be
required to plan the release of the virus, and to mitigate any adverse impacts. More...
National Carp Control Plan (NCCP) to develop and report on a conceptual case study and cost
estimate for the carp virus deployment and management across the Southern Murray-Darling Basin
catchment.
The case study was undertaken in three parts, being:
I. An initial investigation designed to develop a...
This study was undertaken by Charles Sturt University. Although there is a considerable knowledge gap in understanding the social-economic and environmental impacts of a fish kill, it is essential to recognise the risks associated with these events – especially water quality. In order to...
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.
This project, undertaken by Agtrans Research in association with Environmental and Resource Economics (ERE) and Gillespie Economics, investigated the current and future impact costs of European Carp in Australian waterways, particularly the Murray Darling Basin (MDB), and the costs and benefits of...
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...
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...
