The project aims at developing and piloting a system that enables commercial fishers to send the catch data by a smartphone application directly to the controlling authority’s database.
Consumers show growing interest in sustainability and origin of food – fish is not an exception. Finland lacks systems of assessing the sustainability of the stocks of fish and the quantity of fishing, both in the inland water fishery and small-scale coastal fishery. The project aims at developing and piloting a system that enables commercial fishers to send the catch data by a smartphone application directly to the controlling authority’s data base.
