Title
Aquaculture Network Information Center
Description
The Aquaculture Network Information Center (AquaNIC) was conceived in 1994 by the former USDA-Extension Service (currently Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service) as one of the nation’s first network information centers to serve as a gateway to the world’s electronic aquaculture resources. AquaNIC was created, using a small program development grant from USDA-Extension Service, the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program, and Purdue University Libraries .
Primary funding of AquaNIC is through the NOAA Sea Grant College Program with secondary support from USDA North Central Regional Aquaculture Center. In-kind support is provided by the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium, Auburn University's Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquaculture, and the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant College Program. Land Grant institutions, Sea Grant Colleges, the USDA Regional Aquaculture Center Program, and others with an expertise in aquaculture provide significant oversight and contribute to the resource base. AquaNIC houses or provides links to thousands of state, national, and international aquaculture publications, newsletters, visual media, calendars, job services, directories and specialty sections for species and production systems.
AquaNIC is a member of the DOC/NOAA Sea Grant Network of Aquaculture Information Services (NAIS). NAIS collaborators included Delaware Sea Grant, Maryland Sea Grant, Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant, the Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium, the National Sea Grant Library, and the DOC/NOAA Aquaculture Information Center.
