Traceability of shellfish is a much needed service for the seafood industry.
Current
ways of tracing seafood are minimal while tracing of shellfish is nearly
nonexistent.
Tracing shellfish is necessary for indicating where the shellfish was fished
from,
farmed and packed from. Traceability of shellfish involves monitoring the
shellfish
from harvesting all the way to the end buyer.
Using RFDI and GPS technology, we will capture the exact fishing area of each
shellfish by using modern technology in the rubber bands which are used by the
fishermen on the claws of the lobster, snow crab, Jonah crab, etc. We will
capture
and store this data in an accessible database to assist the Department of
Fisheries
and Ocean as well as our fishermen and consumers. This information will also
help
the conversation savvy end buyer to know exactly where the products were
caught;
country and fishing area.
If there are any diseases reported on some shellfish, it will be easy to
pinpoint the
exact location where that shellfish came from and it's fishing vessel. This
makes it
easier for the authorities to concentrate on that area for investigating
diseases
while limiting the exclusion of that shellfish to only the affected area.
Furthermore, this type of tracing will assist in evaluating small size
shellfish (most
especially lobster) catch areas versus large size catch areas. This
information can be
used by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans to limit fishing to the areas
where
the catch sizes are an acceptable size. It will also be able to determine
where the
low and high volume catches are and address the situation accordingly.
