Daily Digest: 01/06/12

It's an exciting time here at the Aquaculturists HQ: we've got new staff; had over 100,000 blog views and have expanded our Aquaculture News service. 


With an average of 400 views a day, it's fantastic to have readers who are so in tune and engaged with the world of aquaculture.  But I realise time is a commodity you can't afford to waste so I have condensed the news posts into one compact daily digest.


This lets me squeeze in even more content and makes it easier for you to comment on stories.
