The national disease list (list 3) lists diseases in Norway that the government implements measures against.
FSA considered that AGD does not meet the criteria for listing as:
- the parasite causing the disease is widespread naturally and therefore it is very difficult to achieve and maintain disease-free areas through prevention and control
- the disease is probably not a threat to wild fish, since AGD has not been detected in wild populations in Norway
