Now fishermen can easily track their fishes in the sea without any difficulty by using this app Fisher Friend Mobile Application (FFMA) which gives him a wealth of information from exact geographic coordinates of shoals of fish, real-time data on wave length and wind speed.
The app, which was piloted by the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF) in partnership with Qualcomm and TCS in 2013, is being used by around 10,000 fishermen families across Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.
In addition to information on movement of fishing shoals, which is updated once every 24 hours, the app also marks danger zones like coral reefs and sunken ship wreckages. Other details like wind speed and wave height are updated once every 6 hours.
