The Aquaculture Network Information Center is a gateway to the world's electronic aquaculture resources. AquaNIC is coordinated by the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium and Auburn University's Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures, and hosted by Purdue University and the University of Illinois through the   Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program.  AquaNIC is a member of the National Sea Grant College Program's Network of Aquaculture Information Services along with the DOC/NOAA Aquaculture Information Center, National Sea Grant Library, Delaware Aquaculture Resource Center, and Maryland Sea Grant Program.
