Report – Water quality risk assessment of carp biocontrol for Australian waterways. 

This work undertaken by the University of Adelaide Environment Institute assessed what would happen to water quality if there was a surge in the number of dead carp in inland waterways.

Report – Synergistic genetic biocontrol options for common carp.

This research reviewed genetic biocontrol options for carp in Australia that could possibly be used in co-ordination with other biocontrol methods such as the carp virus. This research was conducted by the University of Lausanne in Switzerland
