Fish Health Report 2012

This annual report is based on diagnostic data from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute laboratories in Harstad, Trondheim, Bergen and Oslo, as well as information gathered from Fish-Health Services along the entire coastline.

Information is also gathered from other research institutions and the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Notifiable infectious diseases must be confirmed by a publicly authorised laboratory and the statistics for these diseases are therefore more precise than for non-notifiable diseases. The list of notifiable diseases has varied over the years.
