The United States and Canada have received reports of high population levels of Asian Gypsy Moth (AGM) in some countries regulated for AGM.
As a result, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) have published a joint reminder on the issue.
Asian gypsy moth (AGM) is a serious pest that can be carried on ships and cargo. AGM populations are prevalent in some seaport areas in Far East Russia, Japan, Korea, and China. Vessels must arrive in North American ports with required pre-departure certification and free of AGM.
Beginning 1st January 2015 penalties may be issued to any vessel arriving without a valid AGM certification from a valid certification body during the high risk period, as well as the two year ports of call data for the vessel.

亚洲舞毒蛾
美国和加拿大接到了一些亚洲型舞毒蛾(AGM)管制国有关亚洲型舞毒蛾大量繁殖的报告。
据此，加拿大食品检查局(CFIA)和美国农业部(USDA)联合发布了一份有关此事的通知。
亚洲型舞毒蛾(Asian Gypsy Moth, 简称AGM)是一种可以通过船舶和货物携带的严重害虫。在俄罗斯远东、日本、韩国和中国的一些海港地区，亚洲型舞毒蛾数量繁多。驶入北美港口的船只必须提供离港前证明，且没有携带亚洲型舞毒蛾。
从2015年1月1日起，在高风险时期，所有抵港船只必须持有有效认证机构颁发的有关亚洲型舞毒蛾证明文件及船只近两年的停靠港口信息，否则将受到罚款。
