The FinCensus

the fincensus

The FinCensus® from Aquatic Habitats® will reduce the time and effort spent recording and analyzing typical fish facility data, such as crosses, mutations and employee care responsibilities. Once you have the FinCensus® you don't have to rely solely on data recorded in notebooks, which could be lost or damaged beyond legibility, or start the time-consuming task of creating a home-grown database.

Experienced researchers at the Carnegie Institution for Science have spent years refining this database, which also takes advantage of Bluetooth barcode scanner capabilities to decrease the number of human errors, making the FinCensus® extremely efficient. The FinCensus® will help you focus on your experiments, not record-keeping.
