2014年9月12日挪威卑尔根市一个鱼肉市场上的三文鱼和其他鱼类。挪威当局周一表示，中国强化了对进口挪威三文鱼的限制，理由是担心一种鱼类病毒。
就在周一，北京禁止了挪威三个地区的所有三文鱼进口，理由是担心它们携带传染性三文鱼贫血病毒(ISA)。这一规定表明中国由此禁止了挪威三文鱼的对华出口量的五分之一进口额。
对于来自其他北欧国家的三文鱼，中国当局则出台了更严格的限制措施，旨在检明传染性三文鱼贫血病毒(ISA)和鱼类胰腺类疾病。
挪威的食品安全机构被书面通知，但这被认为是毫无根据的，这严重打击了该国的这一明星产品出口额。
2010年诺贝尔和平奖被授予中国异见人士刘晓波之后，挪威三文鱼在中国的销量直线下降。
挪威食品安全机构同时强调，挪威三文鱼是安全的。
“我们认为中国的三文鱼没有被ISA病毒感染的危险，因为从挪威来的这些鱼会被直接卖掉，”这家机构在上周在一份声明中指出。
“ISA病毒对人类无害，”它补充道。
诺贝尔奖的颁发给刘晓波使两国双边关系渐冷，并导致中国收紧了对挪威三文鱼医学检控。
挪威三文鱼从占中国市场百分之九十的销量直线下降到百分之三十。

China has imposed new restrictions on imports of Norwegian salmon citing fears of a fish virus, Norwegian authorities said on Monday.
As of Monday, Beijing has banned imports of whole salmon from three Norwegian regions amid concerns they carry infectious salmon anaemia (ISA). That ban represents one-fifth of Norway's salmon exports to China.
For salmon from other regions of the Scandinavian country, Chinese authorities have imposed stricter con trols aimed at detecting ISA and pancreas disease.
Norway's food safety agency was informed by letter of the decision, which it judged to be baseless but w hich strikes yet another blow to the country's star export product.
Sales of Norwegian salmon to China plummeted after the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
Norway's food safety agency stressed meanwhile that Norwegian salmon was safe.
"We believe there is no risk that Chinese salmon will be contaminated by the ISA virus because fish products from Norway go directly to consumption," it said in a statement last week.
"The ISA virus is not harmful to humans," it added.
The awarding of the Nobel Prize to Liu plunged the two countries' bilateral ties into a deep-freeze, and led to a tightening of veterinary controls on Norwegian salmon.
Its share of the Chinese market dropped from 90 to less than 30 percent.
The new restrictions come on the heels of an import ban announced by Russia -- another important market for Norway -- in response to western sanctions against Moscow over the Ukraine crisis.
