The Internet working for fish auctions

Aucxis Trading Solutions is attempting to streamline the trading process of fish via electronic systems – Fresh produce gathered from the sea will always be a most volatile commodity, requiring expert handling and immediate transportation to convey it to consumers in prime condition. This requirement is currently met by hundreds of local fish markets which provide the interface between seafood production -the vessels which catch the produce- and the wholesale trade. This situation is an extension of practices established centuries ago, practices that sorely need to evolve from being local in nature to international in scope, if they are to meet the requirements of a market where the demand for quality produce is rising against a background of stagnant, or even declining production. E-commerce offers a flexible response and forward-looking solution.
