Fish traceability requires the collection of data about the fish/product chain, from catch (or farming) to consumption, in order to ensure quality and safety
A complete traceability of fish characteristics and quality allows satisfying the consumers demand of information about the food they eat and increasing the consumers trust in fish products.
THE PROJECT
Carried out under the coordination of Catania Province Administration (Provincia Regionale di Catania) the project has implemented, deployed and tested an ICT-based system for the monitoring of fishing fleets in the Gulf of Catania. Colecting operation data during fish catchingcampaigns allowed building a database of georeferenced data to be used by third parties for the quality certification of the origin of the fish.
