Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts Database

Overwhelmingly cited by a majority of aquatic science librarians as their
primary database, the ASFA series is the premier reference in the field of
aquatic resources. Input to ASFA is provided by a growing international
network of information centers monitoring over 5,000 serial publications,
books, reports, conference proceedings, translations and limited distribution
literature. ASFA is a component of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries
Information System (ASFIS), formed by four United Nations agency
sponsors of ASFA and a network of international and national partners.
For over 30 years, ASFA has been published and distributed worldwide
under a cooperative agreement between ProQuest and the Food &
Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.


Although primarily English language, publications in over 40 other
languages are translated and indexed for inclusion in ASFA

DEEP INDEXING
Recent Innovations: Deep Indexing
2007 CODiE Award Winner: Best Online
Science & Technology Service
Why Index Tables & Figures?
1. Images are included in Scientific and Technical articles only
because they illustrate something fundamental about the research
field work, experiment findings or conclusions
2. Distilled essence of the research – the closest thing to the raw
datasets
3. Articles with the right kinds of objects quickly establish the
relevance of the related data and findings
4. These objects are most often invisible using traditional articlelevel and full-text searching
Deep Indexing: Indexing Process
1. Identification of tables and figures (images, charts, maps, etc.)
found within a scholarly article
2. Extraction of critical data and information within and surrounding
each table or figure (including full caption) to provide the indexing
3. Assignment of a category





Information essential to all aspects of marine and freshwater aquaculture is covered in ASFA
Aquaculture Abstracts. This specialized database specifically selects its widely dispersed
aquaculture-related information.
Focusing on studies related to improving and augmenting aquatic yields, the records included
provide comprehensive information on cultivating marine, freshwater, and brackish water species.
All types of source documents are surveyed to provide international perspectives on the science,
practice, management, and economics of aquaculture. References from related disciplines - such
as water pollution, ecology, diseases, nutrition, oceanography, and limnology - are also scanned
for relevant material directly applicable to aquacultural situations.
Information on instruments, technological developments, culturing techniques, and new methods
of husbandry are significant features. With the extensive information resources of the international
ASFA partnership behind it, ASFA Aquaculture Abstracts provides specific, unparalleled coverage
of the planned management of aquatic organisms.

ASFA Marine Biotechnology Abstracts

In marine biotechnology, molecular biology and molecular genetics are applied specifically to
marine and aquatic organisms. The field holds great promise - in increased production of seafood,
in the development of new therapeutic drugs, in the engineering of microbes that digest and
remove environmental and marine pollutants, and in launching myriad ventures having immense
economic benefit.

An ever-increasing number of researchers are turning their investigations to the sea and its
organisms. And ASFA Marine Biotechnology Abstracts - now part of the Cambridge Biotechnology
Research Series - is the one database that assembles the findings from these diverse
nvestigations in a single source. The database also features coverage of United States patents.
The findings and practical applications summarized in this database will benefit all researchers
and managers concerned with the science, technology, and management of marine environments.
