Certificate of disinfection
As a preventive measure
against spreading infectious diseases of freshwater fishes
to Iceland from other countries, it is prohibited according
to The Salmon, Trout and Char Fishing Act of 1970, chapter
X, to use fishing equipment which has been used while
angling abroad, unless such equipment has been disinfected
according to valid rules.
A certificate of
disinfection,
issued by an official veterinary authority will be accepted,
if presented on entering Iceland. The certificate should be
clearly worded on officially headed paper with the
appropriate stamp of approval and not older than 3 weeks.
Iceland has always been free
of infectious fish diseases like IPN, VHS, IHN, UDN and ISA,
caused by various virus, and also of parasitic disease like
Gyrodactylosis, and therefore we will maintain a strict
disinfection policy to try to keep this position. Your
cooperation for a clean and healthy environment will secure
a bright future for the wild Atlantic salmon and trout.
Disinfection of used sport
fishing equipment
The equipment should be immersed for 10 minutes in the
disinfectant solution. Approved disinfectants are for
example
