Get Started with iCatch
Empowering sustainable fisheries through powerful species identification. Join us in revolutionizing seafood sustainability by making in-the-field species identification possible.
How It Works
We're committed to strengthening the blue economy by providing accessible and reliable fish species identification tools. Our mobile app leverages predictive AI technology and precision genomic testing to accurately identify fish species, including processed products like fins and fillets. Our goal is to solve the challenges of species misidentification, preventing seafood substitution, mislabeling, and fraud.

Our current species of interest
Sharks
High demand for shark products, including fins, has led to increasing exploitation rates and decreasing conservation status of sharks across the globe. Today, over 1/3 of shark species are threatened with extinction and the trade of several species is prohibited. iCatch helps law enforcement officials protect shark populations by verifying the identity of shark products and enforcing existing regulations.
Tuna
Tunas support some of the most valuable fisheries in the world and are critical to meeting global demand for protein. However, some tuna stocks are overexploited, posing a major risk to global food security and the blue economy. iCatch enables participants in the tuna supply chain to support the sustainability of tuna fisheries by more accurately monitoring catches and determining the origin of tuna products.
Salmon
Atlantic salmon is among the most frequently substituted seafood products in the U.S., where lower value farmed Atlantic salmon is sold as higher value wild Pacific salmon. Such practices fuel consumer mistrust in seafood supply chains. iCatch arms seafood supply chain actors to verify the identity of seafood products and achieve consumer-driven sustainability commitments.
