KHV

Where will it end and can it ever be beaten?

I am of the opinion that once KHV is in a water it is there for ever, the only way to get rid is to completely drain the lake, disinfect and cull ALL fish. This would cost an absolute fortune and unless every venue did it it would only be transferred again.

I think the only other way is to let it take its course and hope that carp become immune to it.

Not all survivors will be immune and there will be repeated deaths next year when the conditions have been met to cause another outbreak. Eventually there will be harmony but it may be at the expense of non F1 carp.

Where a water has been confirmed as having it then the carp that have survived are generally thought to be immune but infectious to any non exposed carp.

the pigs with fins are here to stay. However, the problem that I see as more of concern is the sheer size that some waters fish are getting to and the safe welfare of these big fish if put into keepnets. This new wildlife bill could be used to enforce anglers/fisheries to take more keepnets than a spanish trawler.

It may not sit well with some but I personally don’t worry that some waters might become devoid of carp, and that the Ton up brigade may not ever make it again. Then I woke up….
