Abstract

This document provides an in-depth analysis of how blockchain technology can greatly improve transparency, traceability, and accountability in fish and livestock supply chains, presenting the potential to transform this industry. Utilizing blockchain’s decentralized framework, which guarantees a secure and unchangeable record of transactions, problems associated with inefficiencies, fraud, and data manipulation in conventional supply chains can be efficiently resolved. This survey analyzes the present condition of blockchain applications in fish and livestock management, emphasizing their advantages and drawbacks. Furthermore, it highlights significant technical and regulatory challenges that impede wider acceptance, while recognizing potential future research avenues that could enhance processes from the production stage to the retail stage. The results intend to assist stakeholders in developing supply chains that are more sustainable, efficient, and transparent, fostering trust and complying with regulatory requirements.
