Daughterless Carp Project
The Daughterless Carp Project is scientific project that is seeking to develop an eradication technique for carp. The technique involves genetically modifying european carp so that they can only have male offspring. The introduction of daughterless carp into a population will lead to an all male population, and the species will eventually die out. The technique has been developed for the CSIRO for the control of invasive carp populations in Australia.
==European Carp In Australia==
European carp were introduced into Australia in the 19th century. As carp are prolific breeders, hardy and highly adaptable, they quickly established themselves in Australia's waterways. In the 1960s, carp appeared in Australia's largest river system, the Murray Darling.
The environmental impact of carp has been enormous. Feeding carp stir up the bottom of the river, stirring up mud and increasing turbidity in the water. Because the fish breed in such large numbers, they have come to dominate the river system. Carp have been estimated to comprise 90% of the fish population of the Murray River with a density of one fish per square metre.
As carp are established, it is impossible to eliminate them using conventional techniques.
