FFAB offers detailed keyword indexing, abstracts and direct links to full text, author contact
information, links to publishers’ websites and information on holding libraries. The records
and abstracts are derived from all publications, including journal articles, research reports,
conference proceedings, grey literature, books, monographs, theses and dissertations. FFAB
also includes deep links from species names to FishBase, offering full-text species profiles and
fish illustrations for 31,400 species of fish.
Researchers from universities, fisheries, wildlife and environmental research institutes,
national game parks and government departments—including departments of agriculture—
will find FFAB to be an indispensable resource, particularly for those institutions involved in
management, regulation and policy development for fisheries and the aquatic and marine
environments.
