abstract = {This paper is part of a series involving the AMIGA project (Analysis
    of the Interstellar Medium of Isolated GAlaxies). This project
    provides a statistically-significant sample of the most isolated
    galaxies in the northern sky. We present a study of the nuclear
    activity in a well-defined sample of the most isolated galaxies (total
    sample: n=1050, complete subsample: n=719) in the local Universe
    traced by their far-infrared (FIR) and radio continuum emission.
    We use the well-known radio continuum-FIR correlation to select
    radio-excess galaxies that are candidates to host an active galactic
    nucleus (AGN), as well as the FIR colours to find obscured
    AGN-candidates. We also used the existing information on nuclear
    activity in the Veron-Cetty catalogue and in the NASA Extragalactic
    Database. A final catalogue of AGN-candidate galaxies has been
    produced that will provide a baseline for studies on the dependence of
    activity on the environment. Our sample is mostly radio quiet,
    consistent with its high content of late-type galaxies. At most ~1.5%
    of the galaxies show a radio excess with respect to the radio-FIR
    correlation, and this fraction even goes down to less than 0.8% after
    rejection of back/foreground sources using FIRST. We find that the
    fraction of FIR colour selected AGN-candidates is ~28% with a lower
    limit of ~7%. Our final catalogue contains 89 AGN candidates and is
    publicly available on the AMIGA web page
    (http://www.iaa.csic.es/AMIGA.html).},
