NCCP: Development of strategies to optimise release and clean up strategies underpinning possible use of herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) for carp biocontrol in Australia

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...

New technologies for sustainable commercial finfish culture

We have demonstrated that yields of 10 tonnes of fish per hectare cannot be sustainably achieved in static, autotrophic saline (14 ppt) ponds (i.e. ponds dominated by photosynthetic organisms) over a 3-4 month production cycle, despite the removal of settable wastes from the SIFTS. The outcome of...

Aquatic Animal Health and Biosecurity Subprogram: Disinfection measures to support biosecurity for infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) at aquaculture facilities

Megalocytiviruses are a group of closely related viruses that cause mass mortalities in both marine and freshwater aquaculture. They are of global importance as they are listed by the World Animal Health Organization (OIE). They are difficult to control as they infect over 125 fish species and...
