International research group WorldFish is launching a new application for Bangladesh’s shrimp farmers to manage traceability to increase production and bring transparency to shrimp marketing, reported bdnews24.

The app, eServices Everywhere (ESE) of SourceTrace, can process and analyze data from all aspects of shrimp farming to offer traceability details throughout the production process, from hatchery to harvest.

To the buyers, bar-coded shrimps would mean shrimp free from all health hazards.

The WorldFish said in a statement on Wednesday that they would pilot the initiative for five months up to May in southern Bangladesh, where shrimp are mostly cultivated.
