Epidemiological modelling has been undertaken to evaluate the impact of CyHV-3 as part of an assessment of the feasibility of this virus as a potential biocontrol for carp in Australia. The present project provides information to support key components of the mechanisms of virus transmission which...
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....
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...
In recent years, CyHV-3 has been explored as a possible biocontrol measure for European carp in
Australia. This virus is an OIE listed disease that at this time remains exotic to Australia. The potential
release of CyHV-3 into Australian waters would introduce new risks to Australia’s koi...

The present study, undertaken by University of Canberra, was developed to investigate the potential to engender support for the recommendations included in the NCCP byassessing potential impacts of carp control on different groups, and ensuring key stakeholders are able to access, understand and...
With little fanfare or attention, commercial fishing in the Gippsland Lakes in eastern Victoria ceased on 1 April 2020. The small-scale commercial fishery, which was crucial to the establishment of the town of Lakes Entrance roughly 150 years ago, was closed by the Victorian State...
This study was undertaken by the Arthur Rylah Institute for the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning. Carp (Cyprinus carpio) is Australia’s most invasive pest fish. To facilitate more effective management, the Australian Government is considering release of a Carp herpesvirus...
