Immobilization of coypus (Myocastor coypus) with ketamine hydrochloride and xylazine hydrochloride -- Bo et al.
A combination of 100 mg/ml of ketamine hydrochloride (Ket) and 20 mg/ml of xylazine hydrochloride (Xyl) was used to immobilize coypus (Myocastor coypus).
Eight mature coypus (four males and four females) were injected intramuscularly with doses ranging from 2.33 to 6.25 mg/kg of KET and 0.25 to 0.86 mg/kg of Xyl.

 THE EFFECT OF NUTRIA (MYOCASTOR COYPUS) ON MARSH LOSS IN THE LOWER EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND: AN EXCLOSURE STUDY
Abstract: Introduced in the 1940's to bolster Maryland's Eastern Shore fur industry, the South American nutria (Myocastor coypus) has been implicated in the loss of emergent marsh, especially that dominated by Olney 3-square (Scirpus olneyi) along the Blackwater River in Dorchester County.
Nutria are basically herbivorous and marsh loss has coincided with the introduction and expansion of the population.
Large 30m x 30m exclosures will eliminate foraging pressure by nutria and measure the ability of the vegetation to recover.
