FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2019

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 About the project

Fisheries Management System is an application developed for easing out the activities
performed at fisheries office. This application is helpful for fishermen and fisheries
department to access information regarding weather, trolling, license updating, temperature,
upto date entry and exit of boat and fishermen. Fishermen use this facility for learning
different information and they can use the app to sell their products.

If the fishermen have knowledge of computer then they can directly use the web app or
register in the site and sell their product otherwise they can contact company’s computer
professional who will schedule classes to teach them basics of computers and internet.

The website allows the boat owner or representatives to register the entry and exit details of
boat and passenger.
It also provide notification and messages about alerts, critical warning trolling period etc.
users can log into the site using credentials.

1.2 Description

Fishermen can use site to sell their products online. This facility is utilized to get
information regarding commodities, tools etc. Current market price, sales reports, sales
analysis etc. can be performed. Easy to use application is being built for helping
fishermen in selling products, gaining knowledge, accessing market value & analysis,
identifying resources etc.

1.6 Existing System

Existing system is time consuming. Also fishermen use traditional techniques and
superstitions in making decisions, unnecessary travelling cost is incurred. It is difficult for
fishermens to gain information regarding availability of different materials. Learning of New
techniques is very difficult. Also identifying the different tools suited, weather cannot be
easily identified.

Issues

 Time consuming
 Operational cost is high
 Difficult to learn new techniques
 Location & suited tools cannot be easily identified

1.7 Proposed System:

The proposed system has the ability to sell products online, fishermen can
gather information regarding tools, and can learn new techniques online. They could get
information regarding weather conditions, temperature, suited for different locations. They
can also search for nearby fisheries office, places where commodities are available.

The system is more reliable, flexible, scalable and secure and easy to use than the
present systems offered by different online shopping sites. The system provides diagrammatic
representation of sales. It reduces the time needed for analysis.

The online web based portal is an easy to use solution for officers and fishermen.
Each user is provided their own access level to get the required contents based on privilege.
The admin is considered as the topmost authority to maintain control over working of the site.
Data can be added or modified by admin.

CHAPTER 2

SYSTEM REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

A System Requirements Analysis in the field of system engineering and software

engineering that encompasses those tasks that are needs or conditions to meet for a new or
altered product or project. It is a complete description of the requirements for the system to
be developed.

2.1 Feasibility Study:

The feasibility study is an evaluation and analysis of the potential of a proposed

project. It is based on extensive investigation and research to support the process of decision
making. Feasibility studies aim to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and
weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats present in
the environment, the resources required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for
success. In its simplest terms, the two criteria to judge feasibility are cost required and
value to be attained.

A well-designed feasibility study should provide a historical background of the

business or project, a description of the product or service, accounting statements, details of
the operations and management, marketing research and policies, financial data, legal
requirements and tax obligations. Generally, feasibility studies precede technical
development and project implementation.

3.1.1 Operational Feasibility:

Operational feasibility is a measure of how well a proposed system solves the
problems, and takes advantage of the opportunities identified during scope definition and
how it satisfies the requirements identified in the requirements analysis phase of system
development.

.
3.1.2 Economical Feasibility:
The economic feasibility study is to evaluate the cost of the software development
against the ultimate income or benefits gets from the developed system. There must be scopes
for profit after the successful Completion of the project.

3.1.3 Technical Feasibility

Technical feasibility assesses the current resources (such as hardware and software)
and technology, which are required to accomplish user requirements in the software within
the allocated time and budget. For this, the software development team ascertains whether the
current resources and technology can be upgraded or added in the software to accomplish
specified user requirements.

3.5 Developing Tool

PHP Development Tools (PDT) is a language IDE plugin for the Eclipse

platform and the open source project that develops it. The project intends to encompass all
tools necessary to develop PHP based software. It uses the existing Eclipse Web Tools
Project to provide developers with PHP capabilities.

3.5.1 Web Server:

XAMPP is a free & open source cross-platform web server solution stack package,

consisting mainly of the Apache HTTP Server, MySQL database, and interpreters for scripts
written in the PHP programming languages. XAMPP requires only one zip, tar, 7z, or exe file
to be downloaded and run, and little or no configuration of the various components that make
up the web server is required.

Self-contained, multiple instances of XAMPP can exist on a single computer, and any
given instance can be copied from one computer to another. It is offered in both a full,
standard version and a smaller version.

Officially, XAMPP's designers intended it for use only as a development tool, to

allow website designers and programmers to test their work on their own computers without
any access to the Internet. To make this as easy as possible, many important security features
are disabled by default. XAMPP also provides support for creating and manipulating
databases in MySQL.

3.5.2 Scripting Language:

Dept. Of CS, ihrd pinarayi Page 8

FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 2019
.
PHP is a server-side scripting language designed for web development but also used
as a general-purpose programming language. PHP originally stood for Personal Home
Page, it now stands for PHP: Hypertext Pre-processor, which is a recursive back acronym.

PHP code can be simply mixed with HTML code, or it can be used in combination

with various template engines and web frameworks. PHP code is usually processed by a
PHP interpreter, which is usually implemented as a web server's native module or a Common
Gateway Interface (CGI) executable. After the PHP code is interpreted and executed, the web
server sends resulting output to its client, usually in form of a part of the generated web
page – for example, PHP code can generate a web page's HTML code, an image, or some
other data. PHP has been widely ported and can be deployed on most web servers on almost
every operating system and platform, free of charge.

3.5.3 Database:
MySQL is the world's second most widely usedopen-source relational database
management system (RDBMS).It is named after co-founder Michael Widenius's
daughter. The SQL phrase stands for Structured Query Language.
The MySQL development project has made its source code available under the terms
of the GNU General Public License, as well as under a variety of proprietary agreements.
MySQL is owned by Oracle Corporation. And it is a popular choice of database for use in
web applications.
