Objectives

The overall objective of the ASFA Partnership is to disseminate information on aquatic sciences and fisheries to the world community, bearing in mind the special interests of developing countries in this field.

Organizations interested in contributing literature to ASFA or in joining the ASFA Partnership should contact the ASFA Partner in their country. If there is no ASFA Partner in your country, contact the ASFA Secretariat at FAO.

Legal foundation

Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) is an International Cooperative Information System which comprises an abstracting and indexing service covering the world's literature on the science, technology, management, and conservation of marine, brackish water, and freshwater resources and environments, including their socio-economic and legal aspects.

The ASFA "Partnership Agreement" establishes the rights and responsibilities of the ASFA Partners. Partners entitlements to ASFA information products are listed in Article 5 of the Publishing Agreement between FAO and ProQuest (2008-2011). To become a member of the ASFA Partnership, organizations must agree (through signature) to the conditions contained in the ASFA Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement also describes the functions of the ASFA Advisory Board and the ASFA Secretariat.
