AFS-ELHS EARLY LIFE
HISTORY OF FISHES BIBLIOGRAPHY
UPDATE VERSION 2.0 of
A Bibliography of the Early Life History of Fishes; Volume 1, List of Titles
Compiled, edited, and published (1988, copyright) by
Robert D. Hoyt, Department of Biology, Western Kentucky University, Bowling
Green, Kentucky 42101
Updated November 2002 by
Tom Kennedy, Aquatic Biology, University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487-0206,
and
Darrel E. Snyder, Larval Fish laboratory, Colorado State University, Fort Collins,
Colorado 80523-1474
Dr. Hoyt granted the American Fisheries Society Early Life History Section permission
to prepare, update, and distribute his 13,717-record bibliography (comprehensive
for literature through 1987, but out-of-print) as a personal computer file or
searchable resource on the internet, so long as the file is made available to
all interested parties and neither it, nor printed versions of it, are sold
for profit. Because of computer search capabilities, it was deemed unnecessary
to provide a computer text version of Dr. Hoyt's subject, scientific name, common
name, family name, and location indices (Volume II). As chairman of the Section's
bibliography committee, I prepared and partially edited version 1.0 of this
file from Dr. Hoyt's original VAX computer tapes and made it available in 1994
for download and use as a searchable resource on the internet. Dr. Julian Humphries
(then at Cornell University) and Dr. Peter Brueggeman (Scripps Institution of
Oceanography Library) prepared and posted the gopher-searchable and web-searchable
versions, respectively.
The file has now been further edited for duplicate records and errors by Tom
Kennedy and myself and partially updated by Tom Kennedy. For the update, Tom
incorporated a file of records through 1997 provided by George W. Boehlert (NMFS
Southwest Fisheries Science Center, 1352 Lighthouse Avenue, Pacific Grove, California
93950-2097), perused over 25 academic and governmental web sites, and used Current
Contents software for published literature from 1999 to 5 August 2002. I also
added a few dozen records. The bibliography now includes 15,596 records from
1842 throught July 2002.
Many references are yet to be identified and added to the bibliography for the
period of 1988 through 1997 and especially the year 1998. Users of the bibliography,
AFS Early Life History Section members, and anyone else having published in
the field are encouraged to submit additional corrections and bibliographic
records to me for future updates. Please compare records herein with your own
bibliographic files and personal publication lists (including "grey" literature
and agency final reports). Bibliographic format generally follows American Fisheries
Society guidelines except that standard journal abbreviations are acceptable.
Your contributions will be duly acknowledged. If anyone is interested in becoming
more involved with the bibliography, much as Tom Kennedy did for this update,
I am willing to share or transfer responsibility for maintaining and updating
it for the AFS Early Life History Section.
