Introduction to the Breeder's Registry
The Breeder's Registry, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, is dedicated to collecting and redistributing information
about propagating marine organisms mainly, but not exclusively, within closed
systems and publishing new information as well. Most of the marine organisms kept in aquaria are not of commercial food fish interest and much of what is currently known about reproductive
behaviors and culturing techniques for these marine species, especially
the "ornamental" species, is and will likely continue to be, from the experiences of the "amateur" home aquarist.
The majority of The Breeder's Registry's funding is currently from Supporting Members and select Sponsors. The cost of membership is literally "pennies per day"!
Why Become a Supporting Member when this website is FREE???
A good question...
- Supporting Members receive personal e-mail notification of all new Breeder's Registry database reports and on-line articles as soon as they are posted.
- Supporting Members may obtain upon request contact information for many of the authors of database reports.
- Supporting Members may place one FREE ad with up to two links on our classified ads page per month.
- Home-based Breeders receive all of the above, plus small banner ad with link on left side column of all BR pages below the menu (100x100 pixels).
- Retail Aquarium Stores and Aquarium Societies/Clubs receive all of the member benefits above, plus an ad upgrade to medium banner ad with link on left side column of all BR pages below the menu (150x150 pixels).
- Commercial Breeders/Public Aquariums/Suppliers receive all of the member benefits above, plus an ad upgrade to the rotating large horizontal top position on all BR pages. Additional ads, both rotating and permanent on other major pages throughout the site (468x60 pixels), are available for higher-level supporters.
- Tax-deductible Supporting Member gifts fund the Breeder's Registry and allow us to continue operating, which means we can continue to seek new information and research and compile pertinent information from the many sources which might otherwise be difficult to access by many.
- Supporting Members and Sponsors support our nonprofit efforts for a self-sustaining hobby.
