Barriers and Drivers for Applying Fish Traceability System in Emerging Market

Abstract

Fish traceability system provides more values for entities to improve their business processes. The philosophy of traceability is that the process is shared along the chain and promote visibility of quality. In this paper, the barriers and drivers are identified and the problem of fish traceability is defined. Five entities examples are analyzed using a critical success factors (CSFs) theoretical framework. The paper offers a framework for managers which provides the basis for developing a fish traceability system. The case analysis identifies different approaches to fish traceability, highlights the barriers include laws and regulations, coordination, cost, information and infrastructure. Meanwhile, the drivers of applying fish traceability system include seafood fraud risks, sustainability information, expanding market, consumer behavior, and efficiency of operations management. This paper contributes to provide dimensions which can be considered by fishery industry, programmers and government before they plan to build a traceability system.

Design of Prototype Information System for Tracking & Tracing Fish Distribution Based on Mobile Agent

“…The research is base on a case study conducted by Rombe [3]. Furthermore, after the problem was successfully mapping according to the apparent characteristics, a literature study was conducted on several technical papers to get an idea of what solutions might be applied to overcome the problem.…”

“…Some system designs are suggested in several studies using GPSbased technology integrated into an autonomous IoT system based on Wireless Sensor Network [5] [13] [12]. The basis of such a system design is not following the implementation criteria mentioned by Rombe [3]. Using a self-contained system that works on a WSN network is too irrelevant to be realized as a Fish tracking & tracing system in the Province of Central Sulawesi because of being expensive, and the technology also requires a framework and policy readiness from the parties.…”

“…Distribution models were obtained based on research conducted by Rombe [3]. The distribution model depicted, as shown in Figure 2.…”

“…It is directly impacting the development of policies that are less accurate and strategic. Previous research conducted by Mubaraq [2] & Rombe [3] revealed a conceptual model of how information systems play an essential role in improving operational performance and distribution of fish logistics. According to them, the integration of information systems in logistics distribution operations as a traceability system can develop distribution schemes so that they can support various management policies and the satisfaction of buyers as consumers.…”

“…Rombe [3] depict several requirements to implement a fish distribution trace & trackability system in the Province of Central Sulawesi, such as the system must be comfortable and inexpensive to implement and operate. The system must be able to adjust to how the distribution entity behaves.…”
