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 promoted sustainable fishing by 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, 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]
