Totally Traceable Tuna

The Totally Traceable Tuna pilot project will test a combination of electronic radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags, quick response (QR) code tags and scanning devices to collect information about the journey of a tuna at various points along the supply chain. This use of technology is new in this region for tracking the fisheries supply chain. The project will also test and document histamine levels, a primary indicator of product quality. The further innovation is that it will record the information collect using blockchain distributed ledger technology. While this use of the blockchain is the first of its kind forthe Caribbean region.
