Evaluating of the role of direct fish-to-fish contact on horizontal transmission of Koi herpesvirus

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...

NCCP: Determination of the susceptibility of silver perch, Murray cod and rainbow trout to infection with CyHV-3

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.

NCCP: Understanding the genetics and genomics of carp strains and susceptibility to CyHV-3

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 - Biosecurity Strategy for the Koi (Cyprinus carpio) industry

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 End of an Era: Acknowledging the socio-cultural history and contribution of Australian small-scale fisheries

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...

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...
