Though I don't know about them but try them out...Good luck

Contrary to what people think most time that reading a manual can help in fighting the challenges in Fish farming, I make bold to say that though manuals give CD's to get informed but they should not replace the place of professional advise.
I have seen people start up agricultural establishments and pack up after they had exhausted their funds because even the manual producers many did copy and paste and don't even have farm experience..
Read manuals,get cd's seek professional advise that's the way forward.
