Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for trading fishery products, and more particularly, to a method for disclosing information on freshly caught fishery products.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, trading large-scale fish such as tuna and bonito has been around the ocean for several months on an ocean-going vessel, raised on the boat so as not to damage the fish on the longline, and immediately performed blood removal and internal organ removal. In addition, what was quenched to -60 ° C in a freezer was unloaded when the oceangoing ship returned to port, and was handed over to buyers such as trading companies and brokers. The buyer makes a contract for each ocean-going ship, and the ship side (seller) presents a list of fishing grounds, timing, and catch composition, and often enters into a sales contract before landing. Therefore, buyers have traditionally been required to make contracts before confirming quality, and ships have also been required to make contracts at low prices reflecting buyer risks.
[0003]
However, at the time of actual fishing, if the fish is poorly lifted on the boat, the fish is rampaged on the boat, or if the procedure of blood removal by water pressure is bad, the fish is damaged and the quality of meat deteriorates. The resulting bruising and thrombus occurred, and it was frozen as it was. Frozen fish were lined up in a market where a middleman intervened, and the quality of the meat was inferred from the cut section of the tail, but the results were far from accurate.
[0004]
This means that distributors such as middlemen and retailers take the risk of including poor quality products, and distributors have no choice but to reflect that risk in their transaction prices. In the first place, until deciding on a destination after catching the fish, it was common to use auction after estimating the quality, which required skill of a craftsman. Therefore, trading of seafood has imposed great distribution costs.
[0005]
In view of this, the applicant of the present invention has incorporated a sorting process of wild and active in the process up to the freezing of the tuna, and by immediately processing the tuna alive in a live fish state and then freezing it, The inventor of the present invention invented that the freshness state after thawing is remarkably improved (hereinafter referred to as high freshness), and applied for a patent in JP-A-2002-17243. In the present invention, a tuna in a state of “high freshness” is identified by a combination of an activity method for realizing a high freshness state, sorting of live fish, and a freezing method for maintaining quality of the active state. , Offer to deliver to customers.
[0006]
However, for example, in a normal tuna transaction, the quality is deteriorated because the meat is checked once after being thawed and arranged in the market. Will be in a tough situation.
[0007]
In the prior application example of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-15043, catch data and market data are treated as macros, and are opened to trading participants as information, thereby trying to optimize trading. In particular, since the trend of the entire transaction can be quantitatively grasped as information, there is an effect of optimizing the transaction price which tends to be influenced by the market price.
[0008]
However, in the case of the above-mentioned prior application, as in the past, there is no change in the transaction by auction through brokerage, so the buyer is in principle responsible for the product, and the distributor who is the buyer is at risk of including poor quality There was a problem that the price remained high without helping to keep converting to distribution costs.
[0009]
Even if the measurement of the freshness and decay degree related to the quality of the landed and thawed fish meat is performed before seri, the effects of aging over time are inevitable, and as a result, Selling at the buyer's own risk in front of the buyer is also advantageous for the seller. Therefore, the criteria for estimating the quality were only the common name and the indication of the place of origin (land of landing), except for the skillful artisan.
[0010]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and significantly reduces distribution costs in trade of fishery products such as tuna and bonito, and reduces the quality of fishery products. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transaction method that grasps beforehand, leads to a transaction based on the information, and further guarantees that its quality is guaranteed until the time of delivery.
[0011]
In addition, the present invention provides a method for trading fishery products, which is capable of trading fishery products, transporting the product as it is after quick freezing to the destination, and thus reliably maintaining the quality provided at the time of the transaction. With the goal.
[0012]
Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a method of trading fishery products that supports "invisible trade" in which the actual thing is not at stake by realizing diversification and enhancement of information on fishery products.
[0013]
In particular, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for trading fish and fishery products that allows the fish caught to be immediately transmitted as trade information from a ship by utilizing remote communication means.
[0014]

FIG. 6 is a sequence flowchart of an embodiment of the present invention.
[0019]
(1) Overview In FIG. 1, reference numerals 101a to 101b denote a mobile phone and a personal computer as customer terminals. Reference numeral 106 denotes a broadcast line such as a television line or an electric communication line such as the Internet, and 102 denotes an administrator terminal which performs a relay function between the fishing boat and the customer terminal.
[0020]
This system inspects the tuna caught by the fishing boat 103 as it is before freezing on the ship, and collects fishery product information and fishing status information (herein, collectively referred to as “transaction information”) based on the inspection results and the like by artificial satellite. The transaction information is transmitted to the earth station 107 via the network 105, and the transaction information is transmitted from the earth station 107 to the manager terminal 102 through a predetermined network. The information that has arrived at the administrator terminal 102 is stored in the transaction information management database 317, and is disclosed to the customer terminals 101a to 101b through various communication means.
[0021]
The customer refers to the information recording medium (FD, MD, etc.) on which the transaction information published on the Internet, the information broadcast on the television, and other information corresponding to the contents of the transaction information management database 317 are recorded. Make a deal.
[0022]
(2) Functional Configuration of Various Terminals Next, the functional configurations of the onboard device 103a, the customer terminals 101a to 101b, and the manager terminal 102 installed in the fishing boat 103 will be described.

[0024]
The caught marine products are fixed by the fish fixing means 201. The fixed fish body is photographed by the fish photographing means 203, and a disease, a wound, and a hole that can be determined from the photographed image are displayed.
[0025]
After photographing the fish, the meat quality analysis means 205 analyzes the meat quality of the fish caught. Specifically, the fish caught is cut, and the “color difference, freshness (K value), and fat content” that can be distinguished by magnetic discrimination / electrical resistance by an ultrasonic device or a computer tomography device are quantified, and the thrombus It is displayed together with the presence / absence of disease / parasite (one or more of them). Since there are various known techniques for the fish body quality analyzing means 205, they may be used.
[0026]
In addition, the quantitative state judging means 207 measures the amount of blood drawn along with the fish fish fixed alongside the processed fish meat and quantifies it. The means 207 also measures and digitizes fish weight and fish size.
[0027]
Here, the K value is the accumulation ratio of HxR and Hx represented by ((H × R + Hx) / (ATP + ADP + AMP + IMP + HxR + Hx)) × 100 (%), and is mainly a function of time elapsed after death and temperature. Since the increasing rate of the K value is substantially parallel to the initial changes occurring in the fish after death, it is used as a method for objectively estimating the state of the post-mortem progress.
[0028]
The fishery product information creating means 211 creates fishery product information to be described later based on the data acquired by the fish photographing means 203 to the quantitative state determination means 207.
