There are demands for disinfecting fishing gear, waders, canoes etc.
This applies to both Kvalsund River and Upper and Lower Neverfjord Water.
The reason that the rules also apply to lakes, is that these are part of anadromous stretch
(Sea trout, Arctic char and salmon Outgoing stretch).
The main reason for the disinfection requirements is to prevent infection of the salmon parasite Gyrodactylus salaris. Fishermen permanent resident in Finnmark county do not disinfect if fishing gear, waders etc. Are not used in waterways outside the county, or drains within the county with proven or suspected different types of infection.
Here must be easily be their responsibility proven !!
Kvalsund Sport Fishing Association does not have a separate disinfection station, but this exists at Skaidi, Lakselv, Børselv and elsewhere. On FeFo's sites it specified exactly where the stations are, link placed at the top.

Gyrodactylus salaris (gyro) is a tiny animal that gets stuck on the skin of salmon fry.
( See photo at the top ).
The parasite can cause the entire populations of wild salmon in infected rivers are lost.
Many rivers are destroyed forever.
Fishermen must be their responsibility conscious and ensure that fishing equipment, wading clothes, boats, canoes, etc. being properly disinfected.
Finnmark has not yet been diagnosed parasitten.
10 rivers in Norway are infected by the parasite. 18 rivers are under treatment and not recovered.
Salmon strains from infected watercourses are greatly reduced only 3-4 years after infection.
The experience from most Norwegian infected watercourses is that the parasite leads to almost total extinction of the salmon population.
It is found more than 10,000 parasites a young salmon. A large number of parasites leads to juvenile salmon gradually weaken and die. G. salaris can also attach themselves to adult salmon that come up in a river to spawn. The adult salmon are not directly affected by the parasite, but helps to spread the parasite up the watercourse.
Salmon parasite was introduced to Norway by imports of Atlantic salmon from Sweden and is not naturally widespread in Norway. The main factor for the spread of G. salaris to Norwegian rivers has been releasing fish from infected hatcheries.
But the parasite can also be spread by fishing equipment, wading clothes, boats and canoes, etc.
