Nettworx Publishing Pty Ltd. has set up the Aquaponics Network Australia (ANA) to be an incorporated national organisation to be registered in the Australian state of Queensland. This follows many inquiries from people interested in hobby aquaponics in and around their own homes, and from educators seeing in aquaponics an opportunity to better teach a range of secondary and tertiary subjects. Aquaponics is intensive culture of fish (aquaculture) combined with organic hydroponics in which vegetables, herbs and fruit are grown on the dissolved fish wastes. The Aquaponics Network Australia will service interests of hobbyists, educators and providers of equipment, services, consultants, fish and other consumables a formal way, but via the existing facilities of the Urban Agriculture Network-Western Pacific and Nettworx Publishing Pty Ltd.. ANA will be serviced by Nettworx Publishing Pty Ltd in its three major business activities: Online management of new science and technology organisations and Provision of online information services via "Urban Agriculture Online" Events management in study tours, meetings, lectures, seminars, conferences. The ANA will develop strong links with the 3,000 or so hobbyists and some 1,500 educators in the United States and Canada who use small-scale units for food for the table or for better teaching a range of subjects such as biology, science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, environmental science, waste management and home food production.
