Operational management system for the whole fishing supply chain

STAR-FISH feasibility study aims to identify requirements for, and subsequently develop and test, an operational management system which verifies catch and discard documentation in order to support catch quota management and traceability services across the whole fishing supply chain. Potential end users are Fishing Regulators, Vessel Owners and Fish Wholesalers. The STAR-FISH system will integrate both satellite communications and satellite navigation (including positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) data from navigation satellites). Satellite Communications will offer an improved communications service between the vessel and shore. Satellite navigation will provide a reliable, global navigation service and a verifiable data source for time and position stamping of the images recorded.
