National Carp Control Plan - Biosecurity Strategy for the Koi (Cyprinus carpio) industry

The project conducted by the Future Fisheries Veterinary Service aimed to develop feasible biosecurity measures for the Australian koi industry against Cyprinid Herpesvirus 3 (CyHV-3). The benefits of the project include providing the industry with a literature review on CyHV-3, compiling feasible biosecurity strategies, improving biosecurity awareness, and suggesting additional measures for enhanced protection. For the government, the project offers valuable documents for assessing the potential release of CyHV-3 and highlights the challenges and cost estimates associated with implementing biosecurity measures. The project's findings and recommendations contribute to informed decision-making and support the long-term biosecurity and sustainability of the koi industry in Australia.
