A copper industry group has introduced a web-based resource for use of copper products in aquaculture.
The International Copper Association has produced what it calls the Aquaculture Web Library. The resource, according to the association, focuses on copper-alloy net installations and other uses of copper in aquaculture.
“The site also contains profiles, in-depth articles and case studies about environmentally friendly and sustainable fish farming practices,” said Langley Gace, the association’s aquaculture applications development manager. “On-line visitors will learn about and experience a view of the whole copper-alloy net installation process as well as benefits derived from the use of copper alloys in fish farming practices.”
Gace said the site is an ongoing, growing project.
“We’re continuing to develop and gather rich content from a variety of sources. We also encourage visitors to submit information for blog updates on the site’s home page,” Gace said.
The site is free, and geared toward fish farmers, suppliers, scientists, researchers, educators, non-government organizations, business consumers and media professionals.
