Fishbrain is a mobile app and online platform for anglers that provides map-based tools, social networking features, fishing forecasts, fishing forecasts including weather, lunar cycles, tidal charts, map functionality, predicted fish activity, previous user-catches, analysis of species behavior and data-backed recommendations on fishing gear. Fishbrain is used by anglers to find new spots to fish and see exact catch locations on maps, which include depth information and user-generated tips and ratings. [citation needed]
In 2019, Fishbrain added a marketplace[2] where anglers can buy fishing gear. This marketplace is offered online and in-app and features gear recommendations based on real-world catch data. This allows anglers to see which gear is best for catching specific species, or for specific fishing tactics.
The platform has a user base of over 11 million users,[3] allowing it to achieve access to a variety of data on species, migratory patterns, and more. Fishbrain has worked with governmental agencies to help identify endangered fish species and how climate is impacting behavioral patterns.[4] The company has promotedsustainable fishing through promoting a catch-and-release approach, as well as encouraging users to clean up and care for their local waterways.[5]
Fishbrain was created by Jens Persson and Johan Attby,[citation needed] and launched in 2010 as a free mobile app,[6] and has expanded to include utility functions for recreational fishing with some of its features available with a subscription. The Fishbrain app is downloadable from the App Store and Google Play, and has been made available for iPhone, iPad, and Android devices.[7]
