Editor's Update |
|
3rd March 2003
GROWFISH GOES HI -TECH
A year ago none of the
members of GAIN would have dreamed that the
Growfish website would achieve the popularity that
it has. The site has undergone three distinct
upgrades since it's original launch and we are
once again at a point where we have had to
reconsider the many issues surrounding the
maintenance and management of the site. A monthly
hit rate of 80 - 110,000 plus a constant flow of
information and inquiry has led us to consider
implementation of a complete new backend and
management infrastructure. We are currently
finalising the introduction of a complete Portal
system for the Growfish website. The new software
will allow us to have a number of content editors
and administrators and will include numerous new
features for users. In addition to the new
management tools some of the user features
include: member site registration, who's online,
link rating & ranking, new/hot/popular, user
listing & content submission, ad tracking for
advertisers, ecommerce, discussion forums, events
calendar with event registration, surveys & polls,
classified ads sections, chat & conference
facilities, automated newsletter signup and more
news & articles. Further information and a release
date will be advised shortly.

MANAGING YABBIES
FOR PROFIT |
|
The first one day Yabby
course has been run in conjunction with the
FarmBis program at Morwell by course convenor
Tony Cohen from East Vic Yabbies.
The
participants were a mix of Gippsland Yabby
Grower Association members and independent
parties interested in the potential of yabby
farming.
The aims of the course
were to generate interest in the
profitable production of yabbies, to
investigate the importance and
implications of producing critical mass to
meet existing demands for yabbies and to
understand the importance of best
practices in the growing and handling of
yabbies for these markets. |
David Morrison &
Tony Cohen
discuss the finer points of water
parameters for growing yabbies. |
 |
A range of aids were
used including live yabbies, microscopes,
videos, nets, water testing equipment etc
and handouts included a very comprehensive
yabby growers manual and relevant
licensing information and forms.
Considerable discussion took place which
showed the importance and need for such a
course and the general feeling was the day
proved to be a resounding success. |
