A complete eLog Software Solution

Sophisticated, affordable, multi-level software tool for the recording and reporting of ALL marine and vessel-based data. 

Fifteen years ago, Olrac began the development of an Electronic Logbook system (Elog) for the international commercial fishing fleet. The present version of the system developed by Olrac is named Olfish Dynamic Data logger (Olfish-DDL www.olfish.com). Olfish-DDL is a third generation of the Elog developed and can be customised to comply with any data logging and reporting requirements regardless of fishery, fishing method, country or language. 

Olfish- DDL is a complete, standalone, data logging and reporting solution. It is extremity easy to use, relatively cheap, can work on any computer and take up very little memory. Olfish-DDL’s output can be printed, saved or transmitted digitally to any third party database and/or to the Olfish native shore database. A version of Olfish has been developed for the EU market and is completely compliant with EC eLog regulations (1077/2008).

OLRAC also developed a web based Report Management System (Olfish-RMS) which offers more functionality than the name implies. Essentially, it allows for reports sent from the vessels to be received and processed, and sent on, as necessary, to the relevant fishing authorities. It also allows for analysis of catch taken against quota, and for various regulatory reports to be easily produced. It is web-based, and could very easily be altered to accommodate the recording of activities taken after the vessels have landed their catch – for example, the loading of catch into containers at port, the movement of catch to factories for processing, and the sale of catch to agents / wholesalers.

Dr Ian Knuckey of Fishwell Consulting is the Australian Representative of Olfish.  Olfish is an intelligent database solution for the capture and management of fishing data.  It is a dynamic and a user-friendly electronic fishing logbook.  Used by the Commercial and Recreational Fishing Industries, Olfish is a valuable tool to track fishing activity in real time.
