As part of our ongoing endeavour to promote the aquaculture industry and to keep industry members informed of events both locally and internationally we are pleased to announce that the highly popular GROWfish News is now freely available for anyone to include on their own website. We have developed a very simple system that involves the inclusion of a single line of code in a webpage that will automatically generate the latest headlines (as shown below) directly from the GROWfish website. This provides any website with fresh content updated on a daily basis and encourages users to return to the site where the news feed is located.

Handy Websites

We recently featured OnlineConversion in this section as a handy resource. This site allows you to convert almost anything you care to name to anything else. There are over 5,000 different units and 30,000 different conversions available.

One of the responses that we received was from Steve Diver at ATTRA -
(Appropriate Technology Transfer for Rural Areas) in the US. ATTRA have compiled a webpage that includes a multitude of conversion tools and calculators that are specifically for the Agribusiness sector. Well worth a look and definitely should be added to your Favorites. Many thanks to Steve on behalf of everyone.
