It offers citations to selected books, articles, reports, and news items that were identified in online bibliographic databases. Coverage includes literature on feasibility studies, production potential of species of aquatic animals and plants, site selection, statistics, and the feasibility of introducing new aquaculture techniques in a particular region. Citations date from approximately 1976 to the present, and are arranged alphabetically by the author's surname. An author index as well as a subject index to aquaculture terms (selected from the title, abstract, and descriptor fields) are provided at the end of the bibliography.
