There are a number of indexes which identify "primary" research literature in fisheries. This literature includes journal papers, journals, conference papers, monographic series, and publications issued in other specialized formats. See Literature of Fisheries for further information. Depending upon the index publications may be retrieved in a variety of ways--by author, subject, taxonomy, life stage, geography, time, chemical compound, or habitat.
In the HSU Library recent years of most indexes are available on the Internet through the Library's Articles and Databases page with older years in print format for retrospective searching.
Before starting a literature search through one or more of the following indexes, a search strategy should be developed which defines and logically organizes a search into its unique concepts. The Search Strategy Worksheet for Subject Searching presents a four-step outline for developing such a strategy.
The following fisheries indexes are available through the HSU Library to current
students and faculty. Click on the title to search the index or on the 
icon for additional information on the index, including
search guides. They are listed in groups according to the extent and format
of their literature coverage. Since fisheries is an applied science utilizing
literature from many scientific fields, in addition to its core literature,
researchers will often need to consult specialized indexes in other related
disciplines.
