NCCP: Determination of the susceptibility of silver perch, Murray cod and rainbow trout to infection with CyHV-3
The National Carp Control Plan (NCCP) was developed to examine and make recommendations about the feasibility of using a virus to assist in controlling common carp in Australia.
The NCCP Scientific Advisory Group has determined that susceptibility of silver perch, Murray cod and rainbow trout remains a significant knowledge gap and additional work is required to generate the knowledge regarding the susceptibility of these species. This project will determine the feasibility of using CyHV-3 as a biological control for introduced feral common carp (Cyprinus carpio). In order to make an informed decision regarding the consequences of release to native and commercially important finfish species, the NCCP requires scientifically valid data regarding the susceptibility of non-carp species to infection with CyHV-3 building on the most recent knowledge of best practice in non-target species susceptibility testing.
