About This Page

On this page you will find the answers to commonly asked questions about this site.

What is the purpose of this site?

This site is designed to present a vast, dynamic database of information pertaining to aquaculture. We hope that the page will help form the foundations of an effective aquaculture management system. For an efficient management system to exist, an adequate working knowledge of aquaculture must be developed and a means of communication so that all aquaculture farms can benefit from the information and avoid mistakes made by other farms. This site is an attempt to establish such a database. We welcome any and all input from aquaculturists around the world.

What is the difference between the best, normal, and light versions of this page?

Each version of the site has identical information. The difference lies in how the information is presented. The best version has the most features to aid in navigating the site, but is larger, and requires a bigger monitor to display it fully. The normal version lacks some of the best version's advanced navigation features, in order to fit on a 640 x 480 screen comfortably. The light version, does not use frames or any of the advanced features found in the other two versions.

We recommend viewing the best version on the site.

Why do I get an error when I try to add information to the site?

Unfortunately, we exerienced a server crash recently and the files responsible for that functionality were lost. The files are in the process of being recreated.
