Sydney Fish Market has been planning to develop an online version of its famous seafood auction. One of the challenges, identified in the Food Agility CRC workshops in 2018, was how to provide the same onsite inspection experiences ( see, feel, and smell) to the online buyers. The UTS research team proposed to developed a Blockchain enabled Fish provenance And Quality Tracking (BeFAQT) System to overcome the fish supply chain challenges. The BeFAQT team has developed a wide range of technologies, including Internet of Things (IoT), e-eye, e-nose, blockchain enabled mobile App and online platform. The developed technologies have been trialled within the fishing industry. In particular, the IoT, Blockchain platform and App technologies have been trialled with fishermen to secure fish catch origin and supply chain tracking. The e-eye and e-nose technologies have been trialled for freshness assessments in Sydney Fish Market, where thousands of fish samples are collected and analysed. The BeFAQT system is being integraed in Sydney Fish Market’s online trading platform to deliver blockchain secured provenance and quality tracking data to the buyers.
