Aquatic sciences and fisheries information system ASFIS/ASFA
Abstract
The description of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS) is given, and its history and development are shown as well. The Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) Bibliographic Database is the principal information product of the ASFIS system. It contains more than 2 mln bibliographic references and full texts of the documents dealing with the science, technology and management of marine and freshwater environments. The uniqueness of ASFA as the information resource is that the world-wide scientific community has the opportunity to view free scientific information online. ASFIS/ASFA system covers 50 counties with the input centers on the base of numerous institutions and universities providing the monitoring of their national scientific literature. The activities of VNIRO as the National ASFA Partner and the role of its Collaborating Centers in the scientific information exchange are shown. Currently the informatization of the Russian fisheries industry is successfully continuing, free access to the world scientific information via the Internet is open for VNIRO and regional institutions.
