Login to Fish Eye online servicesAbout this service
Fish Eye online services offers fishers, receivers and processors the option to submit data related to trip returns online. This includes:
- pre-fishing nominations
- pre-landing nominations
- post-landing nominations
- receiver consignment forms
- other information submitted for catch and effort monitoring as part of a fisher’s trip return.
Masters can use Fish Eye online services – rock lobster to submit trip returns instead of the existing paper Catch and Disposal Records (CDR) and Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. Alternatively, Masters can use CatchER to submit Trip Returns.
Only one method can be used to complete each trip return. If you submit your pre-fishing nomination using Fish Eye online services, you will also need to submit your pre-landing and post-landing nominations using Fish Eye online services. This is also the case if you start your trip return using CatchER or CDR/IVR.
If you are nominated into the roles ‘MFL Online Operator’ or ‘Receiver/Processor Online Operator’, you will be able to view all transaction history related to the nominating business licence.
As an authorised online operator for a Managed Fishery Licence Holder (MFL), you can nominate your Masters using Fish Eye online services. You can change your Master nominations at any time, except when a Master is mid-trip.
If your Masters are registered users of Fish Eye, they will be able to use CatchER or Fish Eye online services to submit their trip returns provided you have nominated them into the online user role ‘Master’.
Should you lose connectivity while using online services, Masters must revert to the paper process by making nominations using the IVR system and submitting a paper CDR.
Some nominated users will be able to view comprehensive aggregated industry reports on consumption and entitlement balance for the whole fishery by zone. This will help you make informed decisions on when to fish.
The reporting tool is available to registered users of Fish Eye online services nominated into the following user roles:
- MFL Online Operator
- Master
Fish Eye online services will provide an up-to-date view of your entitlement remaining, based on the data you have submitted. This is provided all trip returns and transfers of entitlement have been accounted for, and there are no unresolved errors including Not Fit for Purpose errors relating to submitted trip returns - these will need to be corrected before they are included in the entitlement remaining calculations. This also includes submissions made using CatchER and CDR/IVR systems.
Temporary transfer of Entitlement applications can be submitted online via Fish Eye online services.
Online applications are an alternative to the current manual process, which still exists. Application fees can also be paid online. Online applications are not approved online, but approval timelines may be faster than the manual process if the application is completed and submitted correctly.
Applying for Temporary Transfer of Entitlement has been made easier where the Security Interest Holder has given enduring consent for the Transfer of Temporary Entitlement.
- Enduring consent is agreement given by the Security Interest Holder to permit all transfers of temporary entitlement for the period of the licence.
- Where enduring consent is provided by the Security Interest Holder and submitted with the application, consent forms are not required to be submitted with subsequent applications.
The online Temporary Transfer of Entitlement is currently only available for the West Coast Rock Lobster Fishery and applications can only be made by the MFL Online Operator once logged into Fish Eye.
