Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing vessel operation authentication device, a fishing vessel operation authentication method, a fishing vessel-specific catch quota system, and a fishing vessel-specific catch quota method that are applied to certify where and by whom fish were caught, and the route they were distributed. [Background technology]

[0002] Currently, in order to protect global fishery resources, annual catches are determined for each fish species, each country, and even each vessel. For example, in the Total Allowable Catch (TAC), the total annual catch for each country is determined for each fish species. Under this TAC system, there are Individual Quotas (IQ) and Individual Vessel Quotas (IVQ). An IQ is a system that allocates the catch quota for a certain fish species to individual fishery operators. An IVQ is a fishing vessel-specific catch quota allocated to each fishing vessel. Japan's Fisheries Act has been revised and is scheduled to come into effect in December 2020. This revised Fisheries Act adopts total allowable catch (TAC), IQ, and IVQ for 200 fish species. In order to respond to such quantitative management of fishery resources, for example, Patent Document 1 describes an ultrasonic detection device that can identify fish species so that each fishing vessel can reliably catch only the fish species it is targeting.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2011-226878 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] In order to make an individual quota system such as IVQ effective, in addition to proper management of the landing amount of each fishing boat, it is necessary to monitor the operation of each fishing boat to prevent illegal operations such as overfishing and poaching. However, it is actually impossible to monitor the operation of all fishing boats. The system described in Patent Document 1 was unable to address such problems. In addition, when managing the route information (traceability information) during the distribution process in which fish are caught and then transferred to another owner, it is necessary that the information initially assigned to the fish (for example, the fisherman's name, fishing boat information, fish species, fishing location, size, weight, etc.) is correct.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a fishing vessel operation authentication device, a fishing vessel operation authentication method, a fishing vessel-specific catch allocation system, and a fishing vessel-specific catch allocation method that are based on scientific evidence using location information and images, etc., to prove where and by whom the catch was caught. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The present invention relates to a communication device for communicating with fishing boats and fishermen's associations, and a resource management server accessible thereto; The resource management server stores, in a database, fish species and fishing quotas for each fish species, as well as operation time information and location information, which are preset for each fishing vessel identified by the fishing vessel information; Before starting fishing operations, receiving fishing permit application information from a fishing vessel via a communication device, the fishing vessel information including the fish species and the catch amount of the fish species, and the time and location information of the operation; A process is performed to determine whether the received fishing permit application information is appropriate by referring to a database held in the resource management server; If the fishing permit application information is judged to be appropriate, an authentication code is issued including the fishing vessel information, the fish species and the catch amount of the fish species, and the operation time and location information included in the fishing permit application information, and the authentication code is notified to the resource management server, and an encrypted authentication code obtained by encrypting the authentication code is sent to the fishing vessel. If the fishing permit application information is not determined to be valid, an encrypted authentication code is not issued and a warning message is sent to the fishing vessel; receiving operation information indicating the operation contents formed based on the position information of the fishing vessel obtained by the positioning device, the output information of the fish finder, and the image information of the operation obtained by the photographing device after the operation; A process is performed to determine whether the operation is appropriate by comparing the operation information with the fishing license application information; If the operation is judged to be proper, a key for decrypting the encrypted authentication code is sent to the landing fishery association, The resource management server updates the information on the catch quota for the corresponding fishing vessel and fish species with the information on the catch weight of the landed fish species received from the landing fishery association. This is a fishing vessel operation authentication device. The present invention also relates to a fishing vessel-specific catch quota system using the fishing vessel operation authentication device. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a fishing vessel operation authentication method and a fishing vessel-specific catch allocation method. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to authenticate whether fishing vessel operations are appropriate. In cases where an annual catch volume for each fish species is agreed upon for each fishing vessel in order to protect marine resources, the present invention can provide a mechanism for objectively certifying that the catch is within the agreed range. In particular, by guaranteeing that there has been no tampering during the process at two locations, the place where the fish was caught (operation location) and the landing site, the reliability of the authentication can be increased. Note that the effects described here are not necessarily limited, and may be any of the effects described in this specification. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an outline of one embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a partial configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. [Diagram 3]FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a process flow according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described. Note that the embodiments described below are preferred specific examples of the present invention, and various technically preferable limitations are attached, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to these embodiments unless otherwise specified in the following description to the effect that the present invention is limited.

[0010] Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of an embodiment of a catch and landing authentication device. In this embodiment, a land-side system and a fishing boat at an operation site (fishing ground) are linked together. The land-side system includes a resource management server 101, an authentication authority 102, and a fishing cooperative (referred to as "Gyokyo") 103.

[0011] In one embodiment, a total annual catch (TAC) is established for each of, for example, 200 fish species, and IVQ (individual vessel quota) is adopted, in which the catch quota of a certain fish species is allocated to each fishing vessel based on the TAC. However, the present invention can also be applied to the case where IQ (individual fishery operator quota) is adopted. The resource management server 101 is realized, for example, as a cloud server. The resource management server 101 includes an operation information database 111, a TAC database 112, and a fishing vessel information database 113. Based on these databases, the resource management server 101 determines the fishing quota for each fishing vessel for, for example, each of 200 fish species, and the determined fishing quota for each fishing vessel is stored in the TAC database 112.

[0012] The certification authority 102 provides fishing vessel information, operation information, and the like to the resource management server 101 via communication, and also obtains necessary information such as fishing quota (IVQ) information from the resource management server 101. For example, the resource management server 101 is a nationwide organization, and the certification authority 102 is an organization at the prefectural level.

[0013] One of the roles of the resource management server 101 and the certification authority 102 is to review fishing operation applications from fishing vessels. They judge whether the applied fishing location, date, and fishing method do not violate illegal fishing or fishing prohibitions. Another role is to review the appropriate landing of the applying fishing vessel. In addition to checking the landing port, date, and catch amount, they collect operation information including observer information from the fishing vessel and review based on the operation information whether the TAC regulations and the allocated catch amount of the applying fishing vessel are exceeded.

[0014] For example, the resource management server 101 is a nationwide organization, and the certification authority 102 is a prefecture-level organization. Furthermore, information is sent and received between the certification authority 102 and fisheries cooperatives 103 via a high-speed communication network (e.g., 5G). The fisheries cooperatives 103 are established for each landing fishing port. The fisheries cooperatives 103 manage the landing of fish and the auction of the catch, and at the auction, they assign the starting point of traceability (certificate of origin) and food safety information to the catch. This traceability information, etc. is created based on the authentication code 104.

[0015] The authentication code is issued by the certification authority 102 in response to an application from the fishing boat 201 via, for example, the Internet 105. When the fishing boat 201 is at a port, coast, or the like before departing, it transmits fishing permit application information with its own boat information to the certification authority 102 via a mobile phone line. An application for an authentication code may be made not only via a mobile phone line, but also by a satellite phone via a communication satellite 211.

[0016] Based on the fishing vessel information (fishing vessel identification number, fishing location, etc.) sent from the applying fishing vessel, the authentication authority 102 checks the remaining quota (IQ) of the applying fishing vessel registered in the resource management server 101, the fishing location, the fishing date and time, etc., and if it is judged to be appropriate, issues an encrypted authentication code (temporary authentication code) to the fishing vessel 201 to prevent the authentication code from being tampered with. The authentication code includes, for example, the fishing vessel name, validity period, fish species, fishing area, catch amount, fishing method, landing port, etc. The content of the authentication code issued by the authentication authority 102 is notified to the resource management server 101, so that the resource management server 101 can understand what kind of operation the fishing vessel 201 is going to perform. If the fishing permit application exceeds the fishing quota or violates the fishing prohibition, it is "not permitted," no authentication code is issued, and a warning is sent.

[0017] In order to ensure that the fishing boat 201 actually operates based on the information of the issued authentication code (proper operation) (automatic observer function), the fishing boat 201 is equipped with an operation information creation device (called a data logger) 202. The fishing boat 201 also has a fish finder 203, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver 204, a camera 205 for taking pictures of the fishing operation, and an automatic vessel identification system (AIS) 206.

[0018] The fish finder 203 is a high-precision fish finder that can also identify the type of fish detected. In addition, although not shown, information such as the water temperature at the fishing site is also acquired. The GNSS receiver 204 is a general term for positioning systems that use positioning satellites 212 (see FIG. 1) such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS). For example, the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (Michibiki) has recently started operation, complementing GPS and enabling more accurate positioning.

[0019] For example, a photographing device 205 for determining the fish species, fish length, fishing method, etc. is installed at a position where the hauling net situation and the catch can be confirmed. Alternatively, photographs of the catch are automatically collected using a photographing device 205 attached to the helmet of a fishing worker, etc. A provisional certification number and date, time, and location information are added to the captured images.

[0020] The AIS 206 is a VHF digital radio device that transmits data such as an identification code, ship name, position, course, speed, and destination, and can display the received data on a nautical chart or radar screen. If other fishing boats 201a and 201b are present in the sea area surrounding the fishing boat 201, information such as the position of the fishing boat 201 is acquired by the AIS of the other fishing boats 201a and 201b. The position information of the fishing boat 201 included in the operation information is verified to be correct by the information acquired by the AIS of the other fishing boats 201a and 201b. The AIS information acquisition range is within 30 to 70 km around the fishing boat depending on the class of the installed equipment. If no other boats are sailing within the AIS information acquisition range, the AIS acquired before and after the operation is used instead.

[0021] An example of the data logger 202 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. The data logger 202 includes, as communication modules, a mobile communication module 221, a satellite communication module 222, a wireless communication module 223, and a serial communication module 224. The mobile communication module 221 and the satellite communication module 222 perform communication between the data logger 202 and the certification authority 102 and the fishery association 103. The mobile communication module 221 is used on the coast, and the satellite communication module 222 is used offshore. High-speed communication, for example, 5G, is used to transmit large volumes of operation information.

[0022] The wireless communication module 223 is provided for importing image data from the photographing device 205 and communicating with a tablet (not shown) serving as a user interface. The serial communication module 224 is provided for importing image data, fish species data, water temperature data, and the like during operation of the fish finder 203, importing positioning data from the GNSS receiver 204, and importing information from the AIS 206.

[0023] Information from the fish finder 203 and the GNSS receiver 204 taken in through the serial communication module 224 is analyzed by a GNSS and equipment information analysis unit 225. The analysis results (location information, fish species information, body length information, etc.) are stored in a database 227. Raw data may be used without analysis, but this may result in an enormous amount of data. AIS information (information about other ships) taken in through the serial communication module 224 is analyzed by an AIS information analysis unit 226. The analysis results are stored in a database 228. Furthermore, images taken by the imaging device 205, for example during fishing operations, are stored in a database 229.

[0024] The fishing operation analysis unit 230 creates fishing operation information indicating the details of the fishing operation using the information stored in the databases 227, 228, and 229. After the fishing operation is completed, the fishing operation information is transmitted from the fishing boat 201 to the certification authority 102 and / or the fishery association 103 via the mobile communication module 221 or the satellite communication module 222 in order to obtain a landing permit.

[0025] The certification authority 102 or the fishery association 103 that received the fishing operation information judges whether the fishing operation performed by the fishing vessel 201 was applied for in advance. When making this judgment, the fishing operation information database of the resource management server 101 is referenced, and the position information and fishing method of the applying fishing vessel are verified to be correct based on the AIS information of other fishing vessels. If the judgment results in the operation being applied for (i.e., correct), the certification authority 102 or the fishery association 103 provides an encryption key for decrypting the encrypted authentication code. The fishing operation information is also transmitted to the resource management server 101. On the other hand, if the operation is determined to be unapplied (i.e., fraudulent), the certification authority 102 or the fishery association 103 notifies the resource management server 101 to that effect, and does not provide an encryption key. In this way, by performing authentication at two points, the operation and the landing, it is possible to accurately grasp whether the fishing operation of each fishing vessel is appropriate.

[0026] The authentication processing unit 231 receives the encryption key and decrypts the encrypted authentication code using the received encryption key. The GNSS and equipment information analysis unit 225, the AIS information analysis unit 226, the operation analysis unit 230, and the authentication processing unit 231 provided in the data logger 202 are functions realized by software processing of one or more microprocessors.

[0027] The flow of work (processing) over time according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 3. A fishing boat 201 transmits information for applying for a fishing permit (authentication code) including information about the boat just before fishing, by communication between the boat and the certification authority 102 using a satellite communication device or a mobile communication device (path S1).

[0028] Based on the fishing vessel information (fishing vessel identification number, fishing location, etc.) sent from the applying fishing vessel 201, the authentication authority 102 checks the remaining quota that the applying fishing vessel can catch, the fishing location, date and time, etc. registered in the resource management server 101, and issues an encrypted temporary authentication code if it determines that the application is appropriate (path S2). If the application exceeds the fishing quota or violates fishing bans, it is "not approved," no authentication code is issued, and a warning is sent.

[0029] If the application is approved and an encrypted authentication code is issued, the fishing vessel 201 performs fishing operations, and operation information is acquired by the data logger 202 during fishing operations. One type of fishing operation information is fishing position information. The fishing vessel 201 is equipped with a data logger 202 connected to a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver 204. The data logger 202 acquires the vessel's own position information (date, time, latitude, longitude, altitude, etc.) in real time. Track data is obtained from the collected vessel's own position information. Using this track data, accurate fishing position (fishing ground position) and fishing method information are automatically extracted from the track pattern during fishing operations specific to the fishing method.

[0030] In addition, in cooperation with the AIS, position information (identification number, date and time, latitude, longitude, vessel type, tonnage, etc.) of other vessels (fishing vessels 201a, 201b) sailing around the vessel is acquired in real time. The AIS information of other vessels (fishing vessels 201a, 201b) serves as objective evidence to prove the operation position and date and time of the other vessels. Therefore, the AIS information of other vessels can prevent tampering or inaccuracies in the operation position information of the vessel (fishing vessel 201).

[0031] The fishing boat 201 is equipped with a highly accurate fish finder 203 capable of judging the catch volume by fish species, and by analyzing images obtained by the fish finder 203, the fish species of the schools of fish to be caught and the appropriate fish length are judged, and information necessary for resource management is collected. This allows a judgment to be made in advance as to whether or not the catch is appropriate and the risk of bycatch. As the image data obtained by the photographing device 205 includes operation information, it is possible to confirm the hauling net situation and the catch from this image data. A provisional certification number and date, time, and location information are added to the captured images.

[0032] When the operation is completed, the fishing vessel 201 transmits an operation completion notification to the fishery association (landing fishery association) 103 by high-speed communication (e.g., 5G) (path S4). The fishery association 103 transmits information such as the landing port of the fishing vessel 201 and the end date and time of the operation to the certification authority 102 (path S5).

[0033] When the fishing boat 201 finishes its fishing operation or returns to port to land its catch, it transmits the collected fishing operation information (large volume data including the navigation track, AIS, high-precision fish finder images (echograms), camera images, etc., or the data resulting from the analysis of these) and the encrypted authentication code received during the fishing operation to the authentication authority 102 via the fishery association 103 by high-speed communication (e.g., 5G) to obtain landing permission (route S6). The fishery association 103 applies for decryption on behalf of the fishing boat 201.

[0034] The authentication authority 102 transfers the received fishing operation information, etc. to the resource management server, and then performs an examination. If the information is deemed appropriate, it issues an encryption key (decryption code) and transmits the encryption key to the fishery association 103 (path S7). The fishery association 103 uses the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted authentication code (S8). It also permits the fishing vessel 201 to land its catch (S9). If the examination determines that the information is not appropriate, the encryption key is not issued and the examination result is transmitted to the fishery association 103. In this case, the fishery association 103 does not permit the fishing vessel 201 to land its catch.

[0035] The decoded authentication code contains information such as the fishing vessel name, validity period, fish species, fishing area, catch volume, fishing method, and landing port. The fishery association 103 uses this information to inspect the species of fish to be landed, the catch weight by fish species, etc. The information on the fish species, catch weight by fish species, etc. is sent to the authentication authority 102 (path S10). The resource management server 101 updates the fishing quota, etc. of the applicant fishing vessel 201 and uses it for resource management. If the catch does not match the contents of the authentication code, the landing of that catch is prohibited.

[0036] After landing, the catch is auctioned and given a decrypted, official authentication code, and authentication information that guarantees that the catch was caught by proper means is added, for example, by a label, using this official authentication code (S11). The catch to which authentication information has been added is distributed to the market with the start of traceability (certificate of origin) and food safety information added. The information contained in the authentication code is used as the initial information for traceability, as product information up to the end consumer.

[0037] According to the embodiment of the present invention described above, illegal fishing and poaching can be prevented by the observer function of fishing boat operations. In addition, since TAC information can be updated every time a catch is landed, timely resource management can be performed. Furthermore, by adding correct traceability information including country of origin indication, it is possible to provide safe and secure marine products and contribute to promoting fish consumption.

[0038] Although the embodiment of the present invention has been specifically described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications based on the technical idea of ​​the present invention are possible. For example, the configurations, methods, steps, shapes, materials, and values ​​given in the above embodiment are merely examples, and configurations, methods, steps, shapes, materials, and values ​​different from these may be used as necessary.
