Digital leap for Georgian aquaculture: integrating fish farming into national traceability systems

Until now, most fish farms in Georgia have relied on paper notebooks to record data on feedings, health treatments and production. This resource-intensive approach limits disease prevention, slows decision-making and makes traceability difficult. That, however, is about to change. Georgia is preparing to integrate its aquacultural sector into the National Animal Identification and Traceability System (NAITS) and the linked Farm Management System (FMS), a move aimed at modernizing fish health management, strengthening food safety and supporting access to international markets.
