The map, the fishing grounds, the species information, the regulations and the fishing log are free. The satellite basemap, seabed layers (depth contours, continental shelf, chlorophyll), the 72-hour wind forecast, offline maps and ad-free use are in the Pro membership. Pro is bought from the store as a monthly or yearly subscription; in free use the app shows ads.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes. The iOS app is live on the App Store; the Android version is in testing on Google Play and will be released soon. Alongside the map, the app has the fishing log, the community feed and notifications. You can use the same account on the website too.

Where does the weather and sea data come from, and how often is it updated?

Wind, wave, water temperature and current data come from Open-Meteo; the collection job runs every three hours. The age of the value you see on the map is written in the interface — it is a forecast, so no claim of certainty is made.

Can I use the map for navigation at sea?

No. This map cannot be used for navigation. The depth data comes from EMODnet's roughly 230-metre grid: it shows the deeps offshore, not the rock 30 metres off the shore. It is no substitute for official nautical charts.

How many fish species are there, and do they all carry the same information?

The catalog holds 409 species; 53 of them are protected and closed to fishing. Bait, technique and season data is not there for every species — we write plainly on the species page which ones have it, and we do not fill a missing section with an empty box.

Where do the fishing grounds come from?

The map holds 25.326 coastal fishing grounds on record, linked to 176 species; the records are curated by hand. Beyond those, 2.089 inland water points (dams, lakes, ponds, rivers) appear on the map — these were derived from open-source water data, have not been gone over yet, and have no pages of their own.

Is the minimum size and closed season information binding?

The site holds 401 regulation records, each of them taken from a communiqué of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry. We do not summarize the texts; beside every record stand its legal basis (article and table number) and the link to the official source. What binds is the official publication.

Do you collect my location?

The website does not ask for location permission. The mobile app uses your location only while you have it open and only if you give permission: to show where you are on the map, and to attach a location to a catch log. Your location is not tracked in the background. When you share the location of a catch log you pick one of exact point, approximate point or not shown at all — the default is hidden.

I run a tackle shop — can I open a store?

The dealer panel is in preparation. Write to us at the address on the contact page and we will add you to the pilot region list.

I found an error, or something is missing — how do I report it?

Write to us at the address on the contact page. Errors in the regulations and the minimum sizes take priority — if you tell us which record you saw on which page, we fix it faster.

Who can see a catch log I share?

You decide. Every catch log is saved with one of three visibilities: only you, the people you follow, or everyone. The default is only you. The visibility of the location is a separate setting: even if you share the log, you can keep the point hidden or show it approximately.

How do I delete my account?

You can delete it in the mobile app under Profile › Settings › Account details › “Delete my account”, or without the app by signing in at piscatorium.com and using the Account page; if you cannot sign in, write to the address on the contact page from the email address registered in your account. The action cannot be undone. Your account and your content are closed to access, your profile photo is removed from disk immediately and your catch photos within thirty days at the latest; your likes, follows, notifications and comments are permanently deleted. The details are in the Personal Data Protection Notice.

I saw inappropriate content — what should I do?

In the mobile app you can report any catch log, comment or user. Reports are reviewed by a person; there is no automatic removal. You can block the user too if you want — blocking cuts interaction both ways.
