A prerequisite to the planning and implementation of a research or development activity in aquaculture, whether it be the formulation of a national aquaculture development plan or the formulation of a fish feed, is first to be aware of the relevant published information available on the subject; the latter serving as the historical memory chip or knowledge base upon which all responsible decisions and actions are based. The aim of the present document is therefore to compile a list of available FAO field project reports on aquaculture which have been received by the David Lubin Memorial Library of FAO and input into the FAODOC database. In order to maintain a permanent record of these reports and to supply copies to Member Countries, the FAO Library has made microfiche reproductions of all FAO publications. The microfiche number is given for each record and details of availability are provided overleaf.

The 1,712 reports listed in this document were produced by 257 FAO field projects between 1966 and 1995. Within countries and regions the references are listed in project symbol (eg. RAS/74/013) order. This document does not include the reports produced by the FAO Regular Programme and FAO regional bodies as these have been covered in similar lists published in the same series as follows:

A Micro CDS/ISIS database of bibliographic records downloaded from FAODOC was created and is the source for this bibliography. Diacriticals which are in the database do not appear in the printed references. The database provides detailed subject, geographic and taxonomic index terms for each bibliographic record. Copies of the CDS/ISIS database on diskette are available to libraries upon request to Dr A.G.J. Tacon, Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service, Fishery Resources Division, Fisheries Department, FAO, 00100 Rome, Italy (e-mail address: [email protected]).

This document was prepared as part of the on-going activities of the FAO Fisheries Branch Library to disseminate published information of FAO in the area of fisheries and aquaculture.
