China bans Norway's whole salmon imports
China has banned the import of whole Norwegian salmon from September 10, Reuters reports.
The ban will stay until importers can certify that fish are free from infectious salmon anaemia as well as variants of the virus, according to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
However, partially processed salmon, including fish without heads, gills and entrails, may continue to be exported to China, the safety authority said.
