Mud Crab Traceability
From harvest to market — every crab, fully traceable. CrabTrace captures event-level data across the supply chain and connects regulators, fishers, and stakeholders through a secure, standards-based platform.
Harvest to market
CrabTrace is an innovative traceability system for individual mud crabs, capturing event-level data from harvest to market and enhancing both compliance and marketing outcomes.
Government integrated
Australia’s first seafood traceability system fully integrated with a government fisheries reporting framework — eliminating dual data entry and lowering adoption barriers for fishers.
Standards-based
Integrated with government compliance systems, CrabTrace streamlines workflows, ensures data integrity, and connects all supply chain stakeholders through a secure, GS1-aligned platform.
A collaborative research initiative
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) and the Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC).
