Supporting a sustainable, affordable fish farming future
International Aquafeed magazine, and our online news service, the Aquaculturists - have teamed up to bring you a weekly update from the world of aquaculture
The Aquaculturists news service The Aquaculturists blog is part of International Aquafeed magazine. While the bi-monthly magazine covers aquafeed issues in-depth, the Aquaculturists takes a lighter approach.
Our columnists have a keen eye for the most interesting, relevant and (let's face it) bizarre aquaculture stories from across the world. Each weekday we scour the internet for top-notch news and package it for your perusal in one neat daily digest.
A big thank you to all of our readers - the Aquaculturists has had an exceptional month setting an all time record (and breaking the 20,000 views in a single month) with total views this month of 22,156!. Since we started the Aquaculturists we have had over half a million visits to the site, we hope that you will continue to enjoy our news service.
