Bandung, (IINA) - The Institute of National Aviation and Space (Lapan) announced on Monday that it finished developing an instrument that senses fish availability in order to enhance Indonesian fishermen's productivity, Antara News reported.
According to a senior official for science and atmosphere at Lapan, the instrument is called Decision Support System (DSS) and it utilizes satellite-based technology to detect potential fishing areas. The system can also provide safety related information during sailing.
"Previously, the fishermen faced difficulties in gathering such information. I hope that in the future, the fishermen will access this system, thus enhancing their own productivity. Also, it will assist them in navigation during sailing," the official said.
He noted that the first phase of this project will be made operational in Yogyakarta Province, and that the Institute will soon develop similar systems for other provinces of Indonesia.
