NIGERIA – (NIFFR) ASFA TRUST FUND PROPOSAL 
FILLING THE MISSING GAP

Background and Justification

Nigeria joined ASFA project in 2003 and had the first submission of records in 2004 and had the privilege of attending the ASFA Board meeting for the first time in 2005. A cursory look at the publications on Nigerian Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences in Nigeria since 1971 when the ASFA Project started, shows a lot of gaps which can only be filled gradually. Therefore, the aim of this proposal is to fill some of the missing gaps in the ASFA Database. The proposal intends to prepare about 600 complete bibliographic records based on ASFA Input methodologies using the WWW-ISIS-ASFA (1.1) software for data entry.

Preliminary Work
The preliminary work of identifying articles in back issues of journals monitored, conference proceedings, grey literature etc have been done. The ASFA database has been checked to confirm the missing of the records that are proposed to be added. A total of 600 records have been so identified. This is made up of the following bibliographic levels: AS= 348, AM = 252.
