About this app

TRACK MY FISH – CITIZEN SCIENCE EDITION

Track my fish Citizen Science Edition is the app for fishers that want to turn their catches into serious science. Modelled on the world leading Suntag program, Track My Fish works for Tagging programs and Recreational Catch and Release fishing to turn catch data into a better understanding not just of fish but the trends in the fishery.

Track My Fish Citizen Science Edition is designed for fishing groups that want to improve their fishery through gathering defendable data. Individuals can also use Track My Fish but there are better products for tracking fishing diary. If you do want to know more about the fish you catch and the fishery then Track My Fish is the first step to achieving that goal.

HOW WE USE DATA

If you fish privately your data is your own and can be exported at any time.

Most events will share glory photos as a part of fishing.

If you fish as a part of a group that uses data for scientific or other monitoring purposes your data will be analysed on aggregate. What won't be analysed is your GPS locations, where location is analysed it will be done at the region level for non-tagging catches or at 2km square regions for tagging data.


HOW WE USE LOCATIONS

Our app doesn’t share any fishing spots, our analysis doesn’t share them and our public reporting doesn’t either.

We have over 30 year’s experience in dealing with the most sensitive fishing data. We understand that fishers need to know how their fishery is tracking without compromising their day to day fishing.
