Species	Bag limit	Min size	Open season
Atlantic CodHøstingsforskriften (FOR-2021-12-23-3910) kapittel 10 (minstemål); § 40a (torsk i Oslofjorden)	—	min 55 cm	May 1 – Dec 31; Jan 1 – Dec 31
MINIMUM SIZE IS ZONE-DEPENDENT: north of 62°N it is 44 cm outside 4 nautical miles from the baselines and 55 cm inside 4 nm; south of 62°N it is 40 cm. FishRadar shows the strictest of the three (55 cm) because we cannot resolve which zone you are in. OSLOFJORD: cod fishing is banned all year, including while diving, in the whole sea area inside the baseline from Telemark to the Swedish border; bottom-set gillnets are banned there too. SPAWNING AREAS: inside 14 defined spawning areas from Lindesnes along the Skagerrak coast, in the Oslofjord and to the Swedish border, ALL fishing is banned 1 January – 30 April (spearfishing excepted, being fully selective). No daily count limit is published for recreational cod. Verify the zone on the Fiskeridirektoratet map before fishing.

freshwater-recreational — residents Anadromous salmon, sea trout and sea char are managed by Miljødirektoratet, not Fiskeridirektoratet.
