EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES IN THE FISHERIES VALUE CHAIN

Harvesting Collaborative (rely on the willingness)

• Vessel monitoring systems (VMS) (wide spread in industrial fishing) • Automatic identification systems (AIS) (via IMO Unique Vessel Identifier) • Sustainble gear (e.g. biodegradable nets & FADs) (e.g. tuna fishing in Ecuador) • Ultra-selective fishing gear (e.g. green stick & trawls separators panels) (E.g. long line fishing in Costa Rica) • Smart phone data entry - small scale fishers (e.g. AST iCatch, OurFish & Mfish) • New vessel designs & low emissions (LGN and hybrid engines in Germany & the Netherlands) • Surveillance by radar, satellites & big data (e.g. Global Fishing Watch ) • E-catch certificates & blockchain systems (e.g. EU catch certificate) • Cameras on board (e.g. New Zealand) • E-Fisheries Vessel Monitoring Centre (e.g. Belize for high seas fleet) Source: UNCTAD compilation, 2021
