Abstract: Recently, an annual amount of 44,000 ton in abandoned fishing gear has been occurred near Korean littoral sea. It is estimated that 33,000ton of them were left untreated in the sea. Demage as a ghost fishing that fish was caught in the abandoned fishing gear to end up dead would be 370 billion Won that will be approximately 10% of whole amount of fish in Korea. The purpose of this study is not only an expanding infrastructure of domestic marine information industry as well as the new demand creation for ocean observatory instruments industry but a loss prevention of fishing net and fishing gear to increase income of fishermen as well as the prevention of marine pollution Methods/Statistical analysis: Tracking system based on smart phone for fishing gear on small sizes ship is to identify the location of fishing net and fishing gear through smart phone application using Bluetooth for data sending and receiving location of fishing gear. Transmission unit in tracking system is installed LED for recognize ability at night or in case of rain and fog as well. Collecting information in real time using the on-board GPS module for an exact location of buoy is transmitted receiver unit through built in modem Findings: Received location information of buoy using standard data sorting is transmitted smart phone through Bluetooth. Smart phone APP is searching for the coordinate value of buoy in the map and it is provided in display to find the buoy easily. Improvements/Applications: A number of domestic fishing vessels in 2014 remained 46,248. Tracking system of fishing net and fishing gear is available to install at an affordable price owing to linking smart phone with small sized ship.
