Construction of automatic fishery investigation system using GPS and RFID

We tried to develop a new automatic fishery investigation system comprising an RFID system and DGPS. This new system will be able to obtain a detailed fishery operation data, such as the fishing gear positions and fish caught at each point. The greatest merit of the new system is that fishing operation data can be collected without disturbing the usual operation. The reason to develop this system was that it relieve the investigation cost which were hands, expenditures and times. As the latest global trend, marine resources must be properly managed based on the total allowable catch (TAC) and total allowable effort (TAE), the necessity for fishing investigation will increase. The new automatic fishery investigation system will repay to the needs
