Abstract
OLRAC, a Cape Town based company has developed a fisheries software product, named Olfish. Olfish is capable of collecting, analyzing, plotting, mapping, reporting, tracing and transmitting all data related to commercial fishing operations. Data can be compressed, encrypted and digitally authenticated prior to transmission to the company ashore or to the relevant management authority. Olfish can be used by skippers, fleet and company managers, scientists, onboard observers, compliance inspectors and fisheries management authorities. Olfish includes a dynamic and user-friendly report writer and, as such, it virtually eliminates the need for paper logbooks. Olfish can, virtually, transfer each vessel in the fishing fleet into a research station able to collect a vast amount of valuable data with great accuracy and minimal effort. Olfish is a generic, infinitely customisable solution which can be used for any type of commercial fishery in the world.
