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.

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
article- level 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

ASFA 2: Ocean Technology, Policy and Non-Living Resources With
growing concern over limited natural resources, scientists and
engineers are increasingly turning to the sea for answers. ASFA 2
is the source that puts professionals in touch with effective
management solutions, alerts them to problems, and updates them on
new legislation that affects management practices. Coverage spans
the wide-ranging fields of oceanography: physical, descriptive,
dynamical, chemical, geological, and biological aspects are
extensively examined, as well as limnology, ocean engineering, and
specific resources. From international policy and legislation to
meteorology and climatology to technology and engineering, ASFA 2
covers the crucial current issues. Subject Coverage Law, Policy,
Economics, and Social Sciences Descriptive Oceanography and
Limnology Dynamical Oceanography and Limnology Chemistry and
Geochemistry Underwater Acoustics Underwater Optics Marine

ASFA 3: Aquatic Pollution and Environmental Quality With global
concern over the consequences of marine and aquatic pollution, a
separate volume addressing this subject was added to the ASFA
series. ASFA 3 is the only abstracts journal devoted exclusively to
research and policy on the contamination of oceans, seas, lakes,
rivers, and estuaries. ASFA 3 contains information that will prove
essential to specialists who deal in any capacity with aquatic
environments and marine pollution problems, including biologists,
oceanographers, limnologists, environmental engineers and
scientists, industrial engineers, waste managers, corporate
regulatory affairs managers, and government officials. Subject

ASFA Aquaculture Abstracts 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. Subject Coverage Aquaculture
management and economics Growth and development of cultured species
Techniques, equipment, methodology, feasibility studies,
replenishing natural stocks, and laboratory culture Culture of fish

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.
