BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AQUATIC SCIENCES, FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE IN ETHIOPIA

Bibliography

Abstract

This Bibliography of Aquatic Sciences, Fisheries and Aquaculture is prepared with the intention of providing  opportunity for different users to easily search for   references  that concentrate  on Aquatic Sciences, Fisheries and Aquaculture   (ASFA).  It is a collection of both grey literatures and scientific articles published in scientific journals. The grey literatures include papers presented in conferences, symposia and workshops, PhD dissertations and MSc theses of various national and international universities submitted as academic requirement for graduation. It should be noted that there are many more monographs  of these types  could be found mainly in different universities  in Ethiopia. The scientific papers published in Journals and included in this bibliography should be checked for reputability. As the bibliography contains grey literatures and published papers it can serve as source of relevant information and data useful for metaanalysis on key topics/issues of ASFA.  It will also help the scientific community to enhance their teaching, research and extension  activities.Morover, the long list of references included in the bibliography  shows the immense contribution of prominent researchers  that promoted, not only their carrier, but  their  profession  in the  aforementioned three  specialized fields. Since the Bibliography is a collection of research reports taken from different sources, there may be lack of consistency while writing the references. For instance Ethiopian authors include full father name while writing most of the references, however, abbreviated father name is included whenever the original paper does not have full father name. Finally it should be noted that this bibliography on ASFA is brought out for the first time in Ethiopia, and we are confident that it will be updated in due course through contributions and feedback from researchers in the field.
