What is meant by Fish tracking?
The term "fish traceability" refers to the ability to trace the journey of fish products from the point of capture or farming to the end consumer. The goal of fish traceability is to ensure the transparency of the origin and entire production pathway of a fish product, thereby guaranteeing the quality and safety of the products and combating illegal fishing.
Typical software functions in the area of "fish traceability":
- Batch Tracking: Tracking fish batches throughout the entire supply chain, from harvest through processing to sale.
- Real-Time Tracking: Monitoring the location and condition of fish shipments in real time.
- Origin Verification: Documenting and verifying the origin of fish products, including fishing area and date.
- Quality Control: Recording and analyzing quality data along the supply chain, including temperature monitoring and hygiene standards.
- Compliance Management: Ensuring adherence to legal and regulatory requirements, including certifications and sustainability standards.
- Reporting: Generating reports and analyses on traceability, including origin, processing details, and distribution route.
- Integration with ERP Systems: Seamless integration with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to synchronize orders, inventory, and sales data.
- Notifications and Alerts: Automatic notifications for deviations or issues within the supply chain.
Examples of "fish traceability":
- Wild-Caught Fish Traceability: Tracking the path of wild-caught fish from the point of capture to the end consumer.
- Farmed Fish Traceability: Monitoring the origin and production conditions of fish from aquaculture.
- Cold Chain Monitoring: Ensuring the maintenance of the cold chain during transportation and storage of fish products.
- Processing Stage Traceability: Documenting the various processing stages of fish, such as filleting, smoking, or freezing.
- Sustainable Fishery Traceability: Verifying compliance with sustainability standards and certifications like MSC (Marine Stewardship Council).
