NCCP: Carp questionnaire survey and community mapping tool - empowering the community to be part of the national solution to Carp

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...
