Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts Magazine
2023Also available in:
This issue of the ASFA magazine is focused on the efforts of ASFA regional network in Latin America. There are nine ASFA partners in Latin America and four associates, each of whom contributes to the ASFA partnership by providing records on OpenASFA or participating in one of ASFA’s working groups. ASFA is very thankful to the efforts of Gabi Silvoni (INIDEP) and Silvina Perez Marino (University of Uruguay) for their efforts not only to the ASFA thesaurus and database, but also for acting as ambassadors for ASFA and helping to spread the word of the partnership. This issue of the ASFA Magazine also presents an update from the IAMSLIC conference and abstracts of papers presented by two new associates who recently joined ASFA, Universidad Nacional del Comahue, General Roca, Argentina and Centro de Investigaciones Marinas, Cuba. As ASFA is in the final stages of finalizing its new partnership agreement, we hope to build on the new connections and continue to expand the ASFA partnership in Latin America. -

No results found.This issue of the ASFA Newsletter focuses on Grey Literature. Grey literature is often defined as materials such as project reports, conference proceedings or training materials produced outside of commercial publishing. ASFA has historically been known to cover aquatic, fisheries and aquaculture grey literature, but with evolving technologies and Open Access and Open Science movements, is this still the case today? This issue examines ASFA’s history of covering grey literature and also ways ASFA will improve coverage. A use case demonstrates how ASFA is used for an in-depth literature review (page 2), and ASFA Partner Veronica Sado explains the importance of Grey Literature to her institution, NIFFR, Nigeria (page 5-6). If Grey Literature is not exciting enough, ASFA Partner Daryl L. Superio has written an article describing how ASFA has benefited his personal career development (pages 7-8). This article is a perfect demonstration of ASFA’s value not only as a trusted database, but as a Partnership that delivers training, knowledge and skills to individuals and institutions around the world. -

As an international network focused on disseminating the world’s aquatic science, fisheries and aquaculture research, there are many ways in which ASFA can and does contribute to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDG14 (Life below water) is to “conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development” (https://sdgs.un.org/ goals/goal14) and this issue covers some of the ways in which ASFA contributes to this goal. These include how to search the ASFA database to find relevant research on these topics produced by institutions around the world. We also present an update on a project ASFA is supporting between FAO and SEAFDEC to record research and datasets from southeast Asia related to SDG Indicator 14.4.1 – proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels. In addition to SDG14, we also present the results of a survey on the impact of gender on career experiences of library and information professionals working in aquatic sciences – combining SDG14 with SDG 5 Gender Equality and SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth. Also presented in this issue is an article on SushiDrop project (SUstainable fiSHeries wIth DROnes data Processing) and the recently launched digital archive from the International Collective in Support of Fishworkers (ICSF).
