About CrabTrace Team

This pioneering research initiative is being led by the Food Innovation team at the Queensland Department of Primary Industries (QDPI), in partnership with the UTSCybeR team at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS).

Through collaboration with state fisheries regulators, Fisheries Queensland (FQ), selected traceability-relevant is being shared to the CrabTrace platform from FQ’s existing eFisher app, FishNet and other mandatory reporting systems, with consent from participating mud crabbers. The research is primarily being advanced with Queensland-based commercial fishers as use-case participants. However, to ensure broader applicability, supply chain intermediaries and sellers from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria are also engaged, including Sydney Fish Market (SFM) as a key project partner. The project is receiving co-investment from the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC). The ARDC is funded by the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
