Based in Tromsø, Norway, GoFish delivers digital catch reporting for tourist fisheries. GoFish Start is their ‘beginner’ solution, offering catch registration, automatic reporting, digital guest registration, customs documentation, boat booking, ‘no-go’ zones and emergency alerts. GoFish Pro adds real-time tracking of boats, and support for affiliated systems: AIS, Guard Systems and Trackunit.
In countries where legislation requires that fishing vessels report their associated catch, zero catch or released fish – such as Norway – GoFish is an essential app to ensure compliance and protect marine resources.
The team behind GoFish – Dualog – first developed the commercial catch reporting app Fangstr, and have used that expertise to deliver GoFish. Ground Control provides them with both tracking and communication capabilities; the robust and reliable RockFLEET device transmits their data using, in this instance, cellular only, as there is good coverage in the areas where tourists are encouraged to fish.
