Abstract: A farmed fish tracking and verification system involves introducing biomarkers into a batch of farmed fish, and storing biomarker information in a database. Other information is also stored in the database, such as production information and funding information. Funding information can include information regarding funders who have contributed funds for the production of the fish. The funding information can also include payment instructions for the funders. Once the fish is processed, and a fish product is delivered to a customer, the fish product can be scanned to detect the biomarker information for approval. The database can then be queried using the biomarker information to track and verify information about the fish. Once the fish product is approved and sold to a customer, a portion of the proceeds can be transferred directly to one or more funders accounts based on the payment instructions.

Abstract: Support systems for a truck having a dump body and a scissors hoist are disclosed. In one embodiment, the scissors hoist is mechanically coupled to the truck at a lower pivot point, mechanically coupled to the dump body at an upper pivot point, and operable to raise and lower the dump body. The support system comprises a prop and a handle, wherein: the prop comprises a pivoting end and a support end, wherein the pivoting end is pivotally coupled to the lower pivot point and permits the prop to be raised and lowered, and, when the prop is raised, the support end is matingly coupled to the dump body at the upper pivot point so as to support the dump body; and the handle is mounted to the truck and mechanically coupled to the prop such that movement of the handle raises and lowers the prop.
