Dear AquacultureHub Members, Wow! Is it just us or do your feel like you’ve been on a rowdy rollercoaster ride during 2009 (although we’re told it was the year of the OX :-)? Major government support, major layoffs and furloughs, rising unemployment and belt tightening everywhere got us quite tense. Thus, we’re ready for 2010! As we go through 2009, we were deeply moved by the sustained support of the AquacultureHub ohana. We know you have busy lives and limited time on the web. We greatly app… Continue

J ZULU Looking for consultant advisor for proposed tilapia project in Detroit Michigan

I have a client that owns a trucking firm and agricultural enterprises. One of his large facilities is now vacant, and he is interested in the possibility of establishing a tilapia farm. I believe that he is uniquely situated to seriously pursue an endeavor.

Natalie Cash We stand corrected, please review to amend our statement of "bringing aquaponics to Hawaii".

Dear Peter and Glenn, I have been wanting to set the record straight about Tim Mann and Susanne Friend claiming and periodically being credited with "bringing aquaponics to Hawaii." They did hold the first public workshop that set off the current interest in the UVI aquaponics technique, and they should be credited for that. However, Terry Astro of Aurea, Inc. had previously contracted the services of Rebecca Nelson and John Pade, noted consultants in the aquaponics industry, to assist him with… Continue
