Abstract
Systems and methods may be used to provide industry access to proprietary fisheries dependent data originating from fishers while preserving confidentiality rights of the fishers. An industry-accessible secured fisheries database is established to store proprietary fisheries dependent data, for example, received from a government fisheries database that collects fisheries dependent data in accordance with a fishery regulating authority. User interfaces may be established for database administrators and/or industry members to access the industry-accessible secured fisheries database. Application programming interfaces (APis) may be established for interfacing with other software applications, for example, to transfer the fisheries dependent data into the industry-accessible secured fisheries database and/or to access the proprietary fisheries dependent data for purposes of traceability and/or verification of fish products. The industry-accessible secured fisheries database and the interfaces may use various security measures or techniques to preserve confidentiality rights of the fishers and while providing access to the proprietary data.
