Commissioned: 18.05.2026
Report no: VKM Bulletin 2026:16
Published: 22.06.2026
Key message:
Export of live, asexually propagated stony corals (order Scleractinia) from Norway to Sweden will not have a harmful effect on the conservation status of the species.
Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM).
The assessment was commissioned by the Norwegian Environment Agency, which is the Management Authority for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Norway.
VKM is the Scientific Authority for CITES in Norway and prepares non-detriment findings (NDF) in accordance with the requirements of CITES.
