A pilot study by Fisheries Innovation & Sustainability (FIS) and Seafood Scotland has found that a 'digital one stop' approach can improve data sharing in the seafood industry. The study, which focused on haddock and nephrops (langoustines), found that businesses often do not understand the information required by other supply chain members. The project used secure cloud-based databases to allow fishing and processing businesses to upload and share information. A toolkit has been developed to support future data sharing projects.

A “digital one stop” approach can help make data sharing throughout the seafood supply more effective, a pilot study carried out by Fisheries Innovation & Sustainability with industry body Seafood Scotland. Although the initial studies involve two catch fishing sectors – haddock and nephrops – the potential application to farmed seafood is clear. Fisheries Innovation & Sustainability (FIS) is a coalition of experts driving strategic innovation for a prosperous and sustainable UK seafood industry, governed by a board, consisting of The Fishmongers’ Company, public sector body Seafish, Young’s Seafood, M&S and Sainsbury’s. FIS said the innovative, FIS-commissioned pilot project has laid the foundations for supply chains across the UK to trial greater transparency, adapting the technology to their own, specific needs. “Digitalisation” in seafood is information captured on a digital platform, shared under a set of permissions with selected stakeholders, to improve efficiency, value ...
