Frequently, the search for aquaculture information lacks a clear roadmap. Location of the closest, most appropriate resource, which is the first step, may be the most difficult. This directory was compiled for use by aquaculturists, researchers, students, educators, industry members, and others seeking initial contact points for further information and referral on multiple aspects of the aquaculture industry. The directory is divided into 11 sections, beginning with academic libraries. This library listing is followed by sections on Federal and State libraries and information centers, printed resources, electronic resources, trade and professional associations, specialists in the field, policyrnakers and government administrative offices, and selected initial sources for supplies and equipment. There are over 500 North American resources listed in this publication. In the real world not all sources provide all answers to all people, and this is certainly true in aquaculture. Sources in this directory may be limited in access, scope, accuracy, and economy to the searcher. The first approach for the aquaculture client should be identification of the information sources that are available locally or regionally. Reading materials available at the local university library may be a good starting point followed by contacting the county agent or extension specialist in your state. The agent/specialist may refer you to another source to complete your information search. The Aquaculture Information Center under the National Agricultural Library in Maryland (Section 11: Federal and State Libraries) is also a good starting point. It is recom- mended that the searcher frame a clear and specific picture of his/her information needs prior to contacting the sources provided in this guide. Although every attempt was made to be as comprehensive and accurate as possible, this guide is at best a "snapshot" of resources at the time of printing. Addresses and phone numbers for certain resources may have changed since this document went to press, and certain resources may have inadvertently been omitted. Resource Guide to Aquaculture Information V Acknowledgments This Resource Guide to Aquaculture Infonnation was prepared by the Aquaculture Infor- mation and Technology Transfer Task Force under the Joint Subcommittee on Aquaculture QSA). Funding support was provided by the following agencies: Extension Service, U.S. Depart- ment of Agriculture; National Coastal Resources Research and Development Institute (Grant No. NA16RGO167), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Com- merce; National Sea Grant College Program, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. Special acknowledgment is given to Rebecca Thompson, National Agricultural Library, who provided substantial support in editing and desktop publishing. Appreciation is also extended to the members of the Working Group for their extensive efforts in compiling and verifying the information. Gary L.

San Diego, CA 92126 Phone: (619) 271-6354 58 Section III: Journals and Newsletters Section IV: Electronic and Online Resources There are numerous international as well as North American electronic resources of value to the person interested in aquaculture or aquatic information. The listing here is not comprehensive but provides selected basic sources with a focus on the United States and Canada. The first section covers databases. These are usually bibliographic and are available online as well as by CD-ROM subscription. Many charge a fee to access directly or charge a subscription for the CD-ROM. Many libraries subscribe to these CD-ROMs and make them available to their patrons. Check your regional library for availability or contact the address provided in the description. The second section lists Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). These usually provide electronic messaging services (e'mail), archives of files, announcements, public and private conferencing sections, and any other services or activities of interest to the Bulletin Board System's operator. A BBS may be small and regional in scope, but an increasing number are currently operated by government, educational, and research institutions. FTP/Gopher Sites and gopher servers can be reached via telnet address or gopher address and lead the user to a list of files/documents that can be obtained electronically and/or read online. Listservs are mailing list programs for electronic communication that allow users to exchange data and ideas through the Internet by subscribing. You must have an e'mail address to belong. Services listed below are sometimes a combination BBS/Database/Listserv, so their selection for a particular section has been made somewhat arbitiarily. The final section lists the various commercial and noncommercial vendors which provide communication access for your computer to some of the services in the preceding sections. Acknowledgment is given to John Bostock at the University of Stirling in Stirling, Scotland, for information he provided on several of the following resources in this section. A comprehensive listing of international aquatic sources with a broader scope has been compiled by John Bostock and an electronic version of that list is available via anonymous FrP from ftp.stir.ac.uk directory /aqua; file online.txt.

Assistance for aquaculture may be a part of soil and water conservation activities in some areas as determined by soil conservation districts and reflected in their plans and priorities. The primary objective of SCS assistance in fish farming -is to ensure protec- tion of the soil and water resource base. Careful resource assessment during conservation planning and application is a very important part of accomplish- ing this objective. SCS can assist with an initial resource assessment by furnishing data on (1) water quality, (2) water quantity, and (3) soils. SCS may provide detailed assistance for planning an installation of projects with consideration for (1) water quality, (2) water quantity, (3) appropriate fish species, (4) soils investigation, (5) site limitations, and (6) facility design and layout. Contractors and consultants are encouraged to plan and install fish farming facilities, making use of guidelines developed by SCS such as standards and technical notes. Where the fish farming workload is heavy, training sessions and field demonstrations can be used to develop these other sources of assistance.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has several programs involved with aqua- culture. The proper management of Effluents and Residual Wastes should be a major consideration of aquaculture systems in assuring the protection of the environment. EPA's Water Quality programs are concerned with setting water quality criteria and effluent discharge standards for assuring the protection of the Nation's waterways and water supplies. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) issues Permits for the discharge of wastewaters to surface waters, including discharges from aqua- culture systems in many cases. Permits are also available from this program to use wastes as nutrients in public waters for aquaculture purposes. Waste- water Treatment in publicly owned treatment works is amenable to the use of aquaculture systems funded, in part, by EPA's State Revolving Fund (SRF) Program. In conjunction with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, EPA also implements the Clean Water Act Section 404 Wetlands protection program aimed at protecting natural wetlands from the impacts of dredging and filling. Chemicals and other materials to be used in aquaculture are subject to Pesticide Registration by EPA prior to marketing to the user. 146 Section IX: Federal Agencies and Administrative Offices Section X: Regional Aquaculture Center Administrative Off ices These five Regional Aquaculture Centers were established in 1987-88 and are administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in association with colleges and universities, Federal and State agencies and facilities, nonprofit research institutions, and private corporations.
