Hi there,

we have in Germany big problems with the Koi Herpes Virus he kills a lot of carps.
Is there such a thing in Oz ? Or other virus infection ?
Thats a very bad time for carp fishers in Germany.
I heard it in England bobbed up the same virus.

Tim Tam ...... I dont want to sound horrible , but that would be seen as a good thing here in Australia (as long as it did not effect other native species)
Carp are seen as the rats of our freshwater waterways........ We cherish our fish like bass , perch , cod ( barra)

I have heard that DPI are looking at potentially introducing it to our waterways as a carp prevention/eradication tactic. I'm sure this would horrify most European carp anglers!

Tim to give you an idea of how carp are viewed here.........there is this bloke called Charlie.......& he markets a liquid firtiliser made of carp......works quite well I understand.

I think I did hear something about the karp herpies.......& I seem to remember it was not considered good for other fish either.


I'll have a look for the article.

cheers
