NCCP: Social, economic, and ecological risk assessment for use of Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3) for carp biocontrol in Australia
Prior to the introduction of any biocontrol agent, there is a need to undertake a risk analysis of the potential consequences. This project addresses the development of a systematic and quantitative risk assessment that will evaluate the ecological and social risks associated with the use of Cyprinid herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3, hereafter ‘the carp virus’) as a biocontrol agent for carp. The risk assessment will adhere to global best-practice for ecological risk assessment and ensure that requirements under Australian legislation are satisfied.
