NCCP: Expanded modelling to determine anoxia risk in main river channel and shallow wetlands

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...

NCCP: assessment of options for utilisation of virus infected carp

This study was undertaken by Curtin University. Wild carp (Cyprinus carpio) are an invasive species found throughout Australian freshwater systems. The species is well established throughout the Murray-Darling basin (MDB) and makes up to 90% of the fish biomass in some areas. There are concerns that...

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....

Developing and road testing a novel and robust method for trading off ecological interventions for the recovery of native fish communities

The Murray-Darling Basin Plan water recovery objectives through the Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) show outstanding potential to be accelerated through complementary measures. A complementary measures program encompasses a range of non-flow related investments to achieve ecological...

NCCP: Development of hydrological, ecological and epidemiological modelling to inform a CyHV3 release strategy for the biocontrol of carp in the Murray Darling Basin

This report details work undertaken by CSIRO and RMIT University for the National Carp Control Plan (NCCP). The present study develops a series of interrelated hydrological, ecological, and epidemiological models that enable the development of a strategy to inform feasibility assessment and...

NCCP: Remembering a life BC #Before Carp ;a collection of stories from Australians who have been impacted by Australia’s worst freshwater pest fish – the Carp!

The present study, undertaken by Invasive Animals Ltd, was developed to address a need for incorporating living memory of waterway changes resulting from cyprinus carpio introduction into public discussion surrounding potential use of cyprinid herpesvirus (CyHV-3) as a biocontrol measure. There is...

NCCP: Social, economic, and ecological risk assessment for use of Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) for carp biocontrol in Australia

The ecological and social risk assessment detailed in the three volumes of this report was one of the projects funded through the NCCP. The ecological component of the assessment was undertaken in two parts: (a) A compilation of the science and epidemiology of CyHV-3 and an assessment of...
