I had a read of the paper shared by Brad Bradley via Facebook – thank you.
The first paragraph is filled with assumptions about carp being a major cause of (rather than carp being a symptom of) aquatic ecosystem damage.
Here it also states that once KHV is released, there will be continued release of more devastating viruses, to kill fish that develop natural immunity.
But what I find most disconcerting is that it says, “the release of CyHV-3 undoubtedly represents a unique and exciting natural experiment…”
Would it be okay for me to say that I’m not in the least bit excited?
