Seafood Traceability For Sustainable Fisheries and Compliance

How It Works

National seafood traceability systems leverage advanced technologies like QR Code tags, GPS, RFID tags, and blockchain to track seafood from capture to consumption. The process includes:

1. Harvesting: Fishermen use QR Code tags, GPS and RFID tags to document where and when seafood is caught.

2. Processing: At processing plants, seafood is scanned and logged into a digital system, recording details like handling procedures and quality checks.

3. Transportation: Throughout transportation, seafood is tracked using GPS and IoT devices to monitor conditions such as temperature and location.

4. Retail: At the retail level, consumers can access detailed information about the seafood's journey via QR codes or other digital interfaces.

Benefits

• Quality Assurance: Ensures seafood is fresh and safe by monitoring every step of the supply chain.

• Consumer Trust: Provides transparency, fostering confidence in the origin and handling of seafood.

• Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet national and international regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues.

• Sustainability: Supports responsible fishing practices, aiding in the conservation of marine ecosystems.

• Fraud Prevention: Mitigates risks of mislabeling and illegal fishing by providing verifiable data at each stage.
