HONOLULU, HAWAI’I (January 7, 2003) - As part of its on-going mission to support the aquaculture feed industry, Aquafeed.com, the aquaculture feed sector’s information and marketing website, has a new look for 2003, new features and more services – including an international directory of aquaculture feeds, feeders and feeding systems.

The new FEED FINDER service will list hatchery and grow-out feeds, broken down by categories such as life stage, species, stocking density, countries available, brand name, physical form, special properties and the supply company’s details - to help farmers and hatcheries pinpoint the feeds they require. The means of delivering feeds is an integral part of a successful feeding strategy and so feeders and feeding systems will also be included in the FEED FINDER.

The FEED FINDER will also include:
~ A section on new product news, feeding trial results and other aquafeed information;
~ A forum for farmers to pose their feed-related questions;
~ Links to useful information;
~ Reports, articles, news directed specifically to these visitors;
~ An FAQ list.

In other words, a self-contained service, dedicated exclusively to finding information on commercial aquafeeds.

“We almost created a separate website”, Suzi Fraser Dominy, the website’s founder explained, “but Aquafeed.com already receives huge numbers of farmer/hatchery visitors seeking aquafeeds, and direct enquiries for precisely the information the FEED FINDER now supplies. Our very name draws this type of visitor: Aquafeed.com, is established, is already the most visited resource for the industry and growing daily - and its where the major search engines take surfers seeking aquafeed information”.

“The FEED FINDER will be accessed from a prominent link on the front page of the site, and widely publicized throughout the aquaculture industry – so farmers will find the information easily. By keeping this service on Aquafeed.com, they will also have access to the wealth of useful information already on the site,” Fraser Dominy said.

Aquafeed.com is the aquaculture feed industry’s information gateway. It is the conduit for communication between commercial feed manufacturers, their suppliers, their farmer customers and those conducting the research, teaching and framing regulations in this field.

The website supplies news, job postings, expert help and advice, exclusive market and technical articles and hundreds of links to information on ingredients, technology and aquaculture feeds and feeding.

Advertising support from industry suppliers allows all information on the website and the weekly newsletter service to be accessed free of charge.
