Aquaculture: Open Innovation Links

The aim of this post is to create a collection point for open innovation web sites that offer innovation components up for trade. An objective is to provide innovators seeking to locate innovation components with a place from which to embark on their search.

You might care to contribute by sharing your views on the usefulness of some of these innovation component collections or by raising our awareness to collections we are yet to identify.

Our stated focus is on aquaculture but there is a wide variety of disciplines that can be involved in the delivery of aquaculture product from a glint in the eye of a couple of milt and egg contributors on some romantic sandy stream bottom through to the presentation of sashimi or gormand bait in a six star restaurant. Given this we are pleased to include in our list all forms of innovation component collections not just this from sources of aquaculture IP.
