Aquaculture Web Search

This custom search engine covers several thousand aquaculture resources on the web collected by students during the course of the AquaNet funded portion of the project. The community can help build this resource by suggesting additional web resources below.

Search tips

It is usually better to search using more than one keyword – this narrows your search so your results should be more relevant.

There is no need to include AND between keywords in your searches – the search engine includes it automatically. A search for oysters rafts anchors is the same as oysters AND rafts AND anchors. This search will return results with pages where all three keywords appear (although not necessarily together).

If you know that there is more than one way of referring to something you are looking for, then you can find pages that include the synonyms by using OR (in upper case) between keywords in your search. A search for flupsy OR upweller will return results pages that include the word flupsy as well as pages that include the word upweller. It is important to remember that if you do not include the word OR in this search, you will find only those pages where both words appear in the same page.

It doesn’t matter if you use uppercase or lowercase in your search – the search engine is not case sensitive.

To force the search engine to look for a complete phrase, simply put it in quotation marks. This ensures that the words you enter appear together in the page, in the order you want. A search for “water quality” will return results only for pages where that exact phrase appears, rather than the two words water and quality anywhere in the page.

Suggest a resource to add to the aquaculture web search engine

If you know of a resource that you think would be of interest to other people in the Canadian aquaculture sector then please pass it on to us. The resource will be reviewed and added to the AquaPort Search Engine. Please ensure that the resource you suggest is freely available on the open web. Thankyou!
