Abstract
A system for, and method of, tracking harvested seafood is provided. The system comprises an origin logging unit for logging the origin of a seafood harvest, a quality grading unit for logging the grade of an individual seafood of the seafood harvest, and a quality control subsystem for monitoring conditions of the seafood harvest during storage. The method comprises logging the origin of a seafood harvest, logging the grade of the seafood harvest, and monitoring the seafood harvest during storage.
Claims38
A system for tracking harvested live seafood comprising:
- an origin logging unit comprising a processor configured to:
- cause a display to prompt for origin data of a live seafood harvest;
- receive an input response for the origin data prompt;
- and
- cause a transceiver to transmit the origin data to a central data storage;
- a quality grading unit comprising a processor configured to:
- cause a display to prompt for quality grading data of an individual live seafood of the live seafood harvest;
- receive an input response for the quality grading data prompt;
- and
- cause a transceiver to transmit the quality grading data to the central data storage;
- and
- a quality control subsystem for monitoring real-time conditions of the live seafood harvest during storage and transport, the quality control subsystem comprising:
- a container for holding the live seafood harvest, wherein the container is a water tank;
- at least one parameter sensor for measuring, in real-time, an environmental parameter of the container, the at least one parameter comprises at least one of:
- a water temperature sensor;
- a water ammonia sensor;
- a water salinity sensor;
- a pH sensor;
- a light sensor;
- or
- a dissolved oxygen sensor;
- and
- a transceiver for transmitting, in real-time and periodically during storage and transport, measured environmental parameter data to the central data storage;
- and
- wherein an individual live seafood is embedded with a tag associated with the origin data, quality grading data and environmental parameter data, collected during storage and transport of the live seafood harvest, stored at the central data storage;
- and
- wherein said data stored in the central data storage is accessible, at real-time, by an electronic device authorized to request said data.

A method of tracking a live seafood, the method comprising:
- at an origin logging unit:
- displaying a prompt for origin data of a live seafood harvest;
- receiving an input response for the origin data prompt;
- and
- transmitting the origin data to a central data storage;
- at a quality grading unit:
- displaying a prompt for quality grading data of an individual live seafood of the live seafood harvest;
- receiving an input response for the quality grading data prompt;
- and
- transmitting the quality grading data to the central data storage;
- and
- at a quality control subsystem for monitoring real-time conditions of the live seafood harvest during storage and transport:
- measuring, at real-time, an environmental parameter of a container holding the live seafood harvest, wherein the container is a water tank and the at least one parameter comprises at least one of:
- a water temperature sensor;
- a water ammonia sensor;
- a water salinity sensor;
- a pH sensor;
- a light sensor;
- or
- a dissolved oxygen sensor;
- and
- transmitting, at real-time and periodically during storage and transport, measured environmental parameter data to the central data storage;
- and
- embedding an individual live seafood with a tag associated with the origin data, quality grading data and environmental parameter data, collected during storage and transport of the live seafood harvest, stored at the central data storage;
- and
- wherein said data stored in the central data storage is accessible, at real-time, by an electronic device authorized to request said data.
