ASFA THESAURUS

PREFACE

The publications comprising the ASFIS Reference Series define the rules, authority lists, formats, codes and
procedures on which the ASFIS system is based, and therefore they are intended to ensure the consistency
necessary for the computer processing and the uniformity within the resulting ASFIS information products. This
Thesaurus is the “authority list” which indexers use to choose subject descriptors while preparing references for
inclusion in the ASFA bibliographic database (the ASFA bibliographic database is the principal information module
or output of the ASFIS system).

The Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Information System (ASFIS) is an international, cooperative information
system dealing with the science, technology and management relating to marine, brackish water and freshwater
organisms and environments, including their socio-economic and legal aspects. The system is maintained jointly
by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission of Unesco (IOC), United Nations/Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (UN/DOALOS)
and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) with the collaboration of numerous international and
national institutes and organizations world-wide (i.e. the ASFIS/ASFA Partners). The ASFIS system's main output
is the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) bibliographic database containing more than a 1 million
references with abstracts and indexing, accessioned since 1971 (and earlier for specific subjects, journals or
areas). Upwards of 4000 references are added to the database each month.

The references or input to the ASFA bibliographic database are prepared by a network of National, and
International ASFA Partners, including the ASFA Publisher (ProQuest). The bibliographic references are sent to
the Publisher where they are processed by computer and merged to create a master file (i.e. the ASFA database).
The ASFA database is made available to the ASFA Partners in various formats or media (e.g. Internet, CD/DVD
Rom, printed abstracts journals) for use as a source of data for local or national information services. The database
is also made commercially available by ProQuest to the general public.

The bibliographic reference for each document in the ASFA database contains: 1) a detailed bibliographic citation,
2) an abstract; and 3) a set of indexing terms. The identification of the data elements making up the bibliographic
citation, the writing of the abstract, and the choice of the indexing terms is the responsibility of the ASFA Partner.

Computer based information systems operate most successfully when the input (in this case bibliographic
references) is prepared with a high degree of consistency and accuracy. This is true for any computer based
system, but it is even more important in an international system like ASFA in which the preparation of input is highly
decentralized. In order to attain the desired level of consistency and accuracy, it is necessary that all of the persons
submitting references for inclusion in the ASFA database are trained in using a standardized: cataloguing,
abstracting and indexing procedure.

The purpose of this Thesaurus is to assist the indexers, in the participating ASFA Partner institutes, in
consistently choosing the most appropriate subject descriptors while preparing bibliographic references for
inclusion in the ASFA database. Of course, the Thesaurus is also of use to the “searcher” of the ASFA
database, and it is included as a tool or search aid in the interfaces to the computer searchable versions of the
ASFA database.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (1986 Edition)


Compilation of this extensive terminology would not have been possible without the willing support of all
personnel involved over many years in the development and production of Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries
Abstracts (ASFA). This support by past and present members of the ASFA Advisory Board and indexing staff
whose names are listed on the editorial pages of ASFA is gratefully acknowledged. Thanks are also due to
many specialists in the FAO Fisheries Department, in the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences at Wormley, UK
and in the Institute of Offshore Engineering, UK, who have suggested descriptors and defined concepts
relevant to their fields of speciality.
To the compilers of this edition of the Thesaurus goes the credit for their unique and valuable achievement.
The enormous task of structuring the terminology for the aquatic biology, biological oceanography, and living
resource aspects was undertaken by Dr. Elda Fagetti of the FAO Fisheries Department; her dedicated efforts
launched the development of this Thesaurus on a sound foundation. The entries relevant to the expanded
scope of ASFA into physical oceanography, ocean technology and non-living resource aspects were added by
Dr. D.W. Privett of the UK Institute of Oceanographic Sciences, Wormley, working under contract to FAO. To
Mr. J.R.L. Sears of Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, Bethesda, MD., USA, goes the credit for suggesting a large
number of descriptors and editing online the final print version of this Thesaurus. In addition to the compilers,
acknowledgement goes to Arnold Myers (Institute of Offshore En-gineering, IOE) who contributed to the
vocabulary in marine technology; to Cinda Yates Gainch (Division of the Unesco Libraries, Archives and
Documentation Services), who adapted the SPINES software to the ASFIS Thesaurus requirements and
carried out the initial computerisation process.
Last but not least in this list of names go acknowledgements to Mr. E.F. Akyüz, Chief, Fishery Information,
Data and Statistics Service, FAO, who made possible the realisation of this Thesaurus, to Mr. R. Needham,
head of the Research Information Unit which is responsible for development of all of the ASFIS Reference
Series, and to the ASFA staff of the same unit who in one way or another were involved in this lengthy task,
particularly Mrs. Giovanna Sebastiani-Corbellini and Mrs. Luciana Lombardi-Gianandrea, for their invaluable
and patient help at the keyboarding and proofreading stages of the Thesaurus.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (2000 Edition)


Adding to the difficult task of updating a Thesaurus, the compiler of this edition (Ms Julia. Hudson, IDC
Consultants, Ottawa, Canada) took up the task following many years in which the Thesaurus’s maintenance
was left pending. During this revision (which was never formally published), the Thesaurus maintenance was
moved to the OECD thesaurus management software (OECD's Multilingual Thesaurus Manager, MTM). Discussion
and voting on the terms was undertaken by the ASFA Thesaurus Working Group then comprised of: Richard.
Pepe (FAO, ASFA Secretariat, Italy), Angela Hitti (CSA, USA), Jacqueline Prod’homme (IFREMER, France)
and Wulf. Kirchner (BF, Germany).

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (2009 Edition)


Periodic revisions to subject terminologies are required as the discipline continues to develop and mature.
The 2009 Edition (Revision 3) incorporates some 200 further entries compiled from two draft lists of amended
and new terms. The first list was the collation of the suggestions sent by ASFA Partners. The second was
drawn up by the FAO ASFA Secretariat from a review of the FAO Fisheries Glossary. The major work of
compiling, circulating and coordinating these lists was undertaken by Ms Linda Noble (National Marine
Biological Library, Plymouth, UK) and Ms Helen Wibley (ASFA Secretariat, Rome, Italy). Discussion and
voting on the terms was undertaken by the ASFA Thesaurus Working Group which was re-established at the
2006 ASFA Board meeting. The members of this Group were Richard Pepe and Helen Wibley (FAO, ASFA
Secretariat), Craig Emerson and Vicki Soto (ProQuest), Linda Noble (NMBL/UK), Jacqueline Prod’homme
(IFREMER) and Ian Pettman (FBA/UK).
The thesaurus revision was carried out by Ian Pettman (Freshwater Biological Association, The Ferry Landing,
Ambleside, Cumbria, U.K) using the MultiTes Pro thesaurus software. Acknowledgment goes to the efforts of
Ian Pettman, who, besides incorporating the revisions and making the necessary structural adjustments, also
provided outputs for the print version of the Thesaurus and for other computer formats (XML, OWL and
SKOS) for various other potential future applications (e.g. ontologies, GIS).

Introduction

(Revised by Ian Pettman, FBA)

1. PURPOSE AND COVERAGE OF THE ASFIS THESAURUS

1.1 Purpose

The ASFIS Thesaurus has been conceived so as to correspond to the objectives of the ASFIS
system. It permits the subject indexing and retrieval of information on all aspects of aquatic sciences
and technology, exploitation of living and non-living resources, related policy, social and economic
aspects, processing and marketing of aquatic products, as recorded and stored in the Aquatic
Sciences and Fisheries Information System's ASFA database. So far as can be ascertained, this is
the only Thesaurus devoted to this broad field of knowledge. This Revision 3 supersedes the
'”Thesaurus of Terms for Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries" published in 1976 as FAO Fisheries
Circular number 344, the “Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus” published in 1986 as ASFA
Reference Series No.6, Revision 1, and “Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus” published in
2000 as ASFA Reference Series No.6, Revision 2.

1.2 Status of Thesaurus Development

It is perhaps worthwhile to emphasize that a technical thesaurus is not concerned with "semantic
perfection" or exact hierarchy of scientific disciplines. Its structure is developed in accordance with the
pragmatic requirements of information retrieval. The terminology presented in this publication has
resulted from the experience gained in indexing over 1,300,000 records for inclusion in the Aquatic
Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts database during 1971-2008. Extensive reference has been made
to other related authority lists, thesauri, term glossaries and dictionaries. A list of these can be found
in the bibliography. Nevertheless, terminology relevant to any area of scientific/technological de-
velopment grows hand-in-hand with that development, and no thesaurus can ever be regarded as
final.
The effort of compiling a more comprehensive Thesaurus for ASFIS and its ASFA database will take
several more years. Rather than tolerate further delay in revising the now outdated 2000 edition, the
ASFA Advisory Board has chosen to publish this Thesaurus now. Users may find some topics within
the scope of ASFIS still not satisfactorily covered. To facilitate revision and up-dating, comments on
and/or criticisms of the Thesaurus are welcome. Such comments/criticisms as well as suggestions for
new terms to be added to the Thesaurus should be submitted on the forms found in this Thesaurus
to:

Fisheries and Aquaculture Information and Statistics Service (FIES)


Attention: ASFA
Fisheries and Aquaculture Department
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

The Thesaurus covers only subject index terms and should be used in conjunction with the ASFIS
Guidelines for Subject Categorisation and Indexing - (ASFIS-5) - and the other ASFIS indexing tools,
namely ASFIS Geographic Authority List - (ASFIS-7) - for geographic indexing and the ASFIS List of
Species for Fishery Statistics Purposes (ASFIS -15), for taxonomic indexing.

ASFA THESAURUS

1.3 Background

This thesaurus has evolved hand-in-hand with the growth of interest in aquatic ecosystems (both
marine and freshwater) during the last 45 years, and the accompanying problems in handling the
rapidly increasing volume of relevant scientific and technical literature.
In 1964, as a result of a collaborative programme with the University of Rhode Island, FAO published
a List of classification terms and subject descriptors. In 1970, when arrangements were being made
for the cooperative publication of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) journal, the
Informations and Dokumentationsstelle of the Bundesforschungsanstalt fiir Fischerei (Hamburg,
Germany FR), undertook to further develop and classify this list. This work resulted in a considerably
enhanced terminology (1971, revised 1974) which was used to index citations appearing in ASFA
during this period.
In this next phase, FAO structured this terminological authority to produce a draft structured
thesaurus (1974) which was evaluated in the production of a new experimental index for the 1975
volume of ASFA and used to index ASFA documents until the revised and enlarged version was
published by FAO (FAO, 1976). This was widely distributed among ASFA indexers and users,
specialised libraries and information systems over the world. It has been translated into Spanish
(Mileo, A.T., 1981 and 1985) and French, following the IOC Executive Council recommendation of
May 1979 (IOC/EC - X1.13) that "the Secretary of IOC makes arrangements when required for the
translation of the terms in the enlarged ASFIS Thesaurus (ASFIS-6) through interested international
institutions and member states, in particular in conjunction with ASFIS centres and other centres of
excellence, having the necessary linguistic competence."
The widening of the ASFA scope in 1978 to cover also non-living resources and their exploitation
called for additional appropriate terminology which was developed hand-in-hand with the
development of ASFA-2: Ocean Technology, Policy and Non-Living Resources. The 1986 ASFIS
Thesaurus (ASFIS-6, Revision 1) included therefore the original ASFA terminology in use since its
origin plus additional terms relevant to the enlarged scope of ASFA or to the overall scope, in
accordance with the development of the system.
The further widening of the scope in 1990 to include pollution and contamination called for additional
appropriate terminology which was developed hand-in-hand with the development of ASFA-3:
Aquatic Pollution and Environmental Quality. This resulted in the production of ASFIS-6, Revision 2 in
the year 2000.
As for the previous editions, additions to the terminology for the production of this revision
(ASFIS-6, Revision 3, 2009) have been based mainly on suggestions received from the international
network of ASFIS input centres as well as from other aquatic and fisheries information systems.
Changes have been kept to the strictly necessary in order to keep consistency in the ASFA indexing
vocabulary already well established over many years. For additional descriptors or changed
descriptors, information is included in their SN giving the year in which their use was initiated as far as
possible. Changed descriptors are also cross-referred to corresponding descriptors used in previous
years.
As demonstrated by the previous edition, the Thesaurus will continue to exercise its influence over
the standardisation of the English terminology relevant to the science and technology of the aquatic
environment. It has already been adopted in a variety of emerging national and international
information systems.

2. RULES AND CONVENTIONS

2.1 Standardisation and control of terms

In order to allow for coincidence between the indexing language and the searching language the
ASFIS Thesaurus includes two types of terms, descriptors and non-descriptors.
Descriptors or allowable (permitted) terms are those which have been accepted by the systems for
describing a concept and which are therefore used in indexing and consequently also for retrieval.
The present version of the ASFIS Thesaurus includes over 6,200 descriptors.
Non-descriptors or forbidden (or unauthorised) terms include true synonyms, quasi-synonyms, word
forms, different (American) spelling or very specific terms which are grouped for indexing (or retrieval)
purposes into a conceptually broader term. They are followed by a USE reference which leads to the
relevant descriptor. Therefore they are also known in controlled language systems as "lead-in terms."
The present version includes 3,700 non-descriptors.

2.1.1 Spelling rules


The following rules have been followed:
British English rather than American English has been adopted for the descriptors. Where American
spelling is used, or where alternative English spellings are available, they have been cross-referred
to the preferred descriptors.

2.1.2 Noun and adjective forms


All descriptors have a "substantive" (or "noun") form.
Usually "common" adjectives are pre-coordinated with nouns and entered as compound descriptors
to avoid (i) inconsistency in indexing and (ii) false combinations during retrieval, for example: "marine"
pre-coordinated in:
MARINE ORGANISMS
MARINE PARKS
MARINE POLLUTION
MARINE TECHNOLOGY, etc.
and "international" pre-coordinated in:
INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS INTERNATIONAL LAW
INTERNATIONAL POLICY, etc.

Only a very small proportion of single word terms in adjectival or adverbial form are entered, with the
instruction in SN “To be used only as a qualifier." This is for the benefit of practicality and flexibility, for
adjectives in recurrent or common use, for example:
ANNUAL, MONTHLY, etc.
Prepositions are avoided in noun phrases (pluriterms), for example: "Technology transfer" instead of
'Transfer of technology." The following exceptions were made because the form with the
preposition is the most familiar:
LAW OF THE SEA,OIL AND GAS and its compound descriptors, EQUATIONS OF STATE

2.1.3 Singular and plural forms


The general rule adopted is that plural form be given preference, whenever possible. It was always
adopted for generic processes, phenomena, operations, properties, materials, instruments, entities,
for example:
FISHERIES
BIOLOGICAL PHENOMENA
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES FISH
DISEASES
MEASURING DEVICES

xii
ASFA THESAURUS

Singular form is used for specific processes, properties and phenomena, specific materials, proper
chemical names and disciplinary areas, which are acceptable only in the singular:
DECANTATION
DENSITY
GUANO
GROWTH
IRIDIUM
CHEMISTRY

When singular or plural forms of a term imply two different concepts, compound descriptors are used
to avoid ambiguities, for example:
"coating" as a process is entered as COATING PROCESSES
"coatings" as an entity is entered as a synonym of COATING MATERIALS.

2.1.4 Abbreviations, initials and acronyms


As a general rule, abbreviations for descriptors have been avoided. Exceptions are:
• abbreviations which are universally accepted and do not give rise to misinterpretations,
especially when appearing in their clustered structure e.g. DDT, RNA
• if the expanded form of the term is excessively long.
However, the expanded form of the term appears always as a synonym with a cross-reference, or in
the scope notes.

2.1.5 Alphabetisation
Alphabetisation is based on word-by-word arrangement, according to the following sequences:
spaces, special characters (full stop, hyphen, parenthesis) and letter in usual order.

2.2 Multiple-word entries

Both single-word descriptors and multiple-word descriptors have been used. Multiple-word entries
(consisting of two or more words) are necessary to modify, define or specify scientific and technical
concepts. In the field of aquatic sciences, this is particularly needed because the distinct
environments (marine, fresh and brackish water) frequently imply particular research disciplines (e.g.
MARINE GEOLOGY), different flora and fauna (e.g. FRESHWATER MOLLUSCS), or specialised
techniques. (ESTUARINE FISHERIES). Other compound descriptors have been used to express
concepts that should not be separated, for example BIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT; this helps to
overcome retrieval problems associated with high-frequency usage of terms such as BIOLOGY and
DEVELOPMENT.
Multiple-word descriptors are mainly entered with the words in their natural order, for example,
MARINE POLLUTION and cross-referred to the hidden-words in the descriptors "pollution (marine)"
as lead-in-terms. The first word in a multiple-word entry is always used in the singular form and the
entry is cross-referred to the non-descriptor (and vice versa) when the plural is also in common use,
for example FISHERY MANAGEMENT OF "fisheries management."

2.3 Use of characters

2.3.1 Character sets


The general rules adopted for the alphabetical structured list follows the following printing format:
• all descriptors are printed in bold font
• all non-descriptors (UF references) are printed in standard font

xiii
ASFA THESAURUS

2.3.2 Punctuation
Punctuation marks have been kept to a minimum
• Diacritical marks are avoided
• Prefixes are usually connected to the stem, for example
MICROFORMS
MICROHABITATS
• Hyphens have been retained only when this is common practice or when
omission may alter the meaning of the term, for example:
RHODAMINE B-DYE
SHORT-CRESTED WAVES
POLE-LINE FISHING
AIR-ICE INTERFACE, etc.
and for letter-word combinations, for example:
X-RAY ANALYSIS
S-WAVES
The space occupied by the hyphen is:
(i) Left blank for some compound adjectives, noun-noun combinations, where this is common practice,
for example:
IN SITU DENSITY
(ii) dropped in attaching prefixes (adverbs) to the base word (stem), where this is common
practice, for example:
NONDESTRUCTIVE TESTING
MULTISPECIES FISHERIES
MONOSEX CULTURE
• Slash is used only for the following compound descriptors, because of their
common use in the specialised languages:
T/S DIAGRAMS and CATCH/EFFORT
• Periods and commas are used only in scope notes.
• Parentheses are used only for very few descriptors, as specified below, which
need parenthetical definition and in non-desciptors resolved by inversion i.e.
"reaction (chemical)" use CHEMICAL REACTIONS. Inversion was adopted, in
general, with some exceptions, e.g.:
RESERVOIRS (WATER)
HABITAT IMPROVEMENT (CHEMICAL)
HABITAT IMPROVEMENT (PHYSICAL)
HABITAT IMPROVEMENT (FERTILIZATION)
LOCATIONS (WORKING)

3. SELECTION AND DEFINITION OF TERMS


As already mentioned in the introduction the ASFIS controlled vocabulary has developed hand-in-
hand with the development of the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts journal. The ASFA
indexers suggested terms in accordance with their experience in indexing documents for ASFA
entries. The compilers selected among the suggested terms those more frequently requested or
those that were considered necessary for indexing at more specific levels. Specialised relevant
nomenclature bulletins, dictionaries and thesauri, as listed in the bibliography, were consulted
for term selection and definition.

xiv
ASFA THESAURUS

3.1 Term Selection

The main sources of term selection were:


(1) Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus (FAO, 1986)
(2) the indexing of ASFA-3 documents from 1990 to 2000
(3) the suggestions of ASFA Partners
(4) Thesauri, Dictionaries and Glossaries as listed in the selected bibliography

3.2 Term definition


The inter-relationships given in the Thesaurus supply a kind of definition by grouping terms in their
semantic relations. A rough definition of the terms, when this is needed, is given in the scope notes.
Usually to:
• restrict the usage of a broad descriptor within the context of the ASFIS system's scope.
• clarify the exact meaning of key specialised terms
• to give the corresponding descriptors used in previous years
• to explain the meaning of certain non-English terms
• to indicate that the descriptor is to be used only as a qualifier
• to recommend, in the case of a few "umbrella terms," i.e. terms with a very broad
meaning, to select and use a more specific, or alternative, descriptor, among those
listed below as NTs or RTs.

4. SPECIFICITY AND PRE-COORDINATION LEVEL


Due to the wide scope of ASFIS which covers three well-defined aquatic environments and bio-
ecological as well as physico-chemical oceanographic sciences and technologies, a high level of
specificity is necessary to ensure precision performance both at the input and the retrieval stages. To
avoid confusion of descriptors which have a different meaning if applied to bio-ecological aspects or
to physico-chemical aspects, the pre-coordination of terms by multiword descriptors has been very
frequently adopted e.g.
BIOTESTING UF BIOLOGICAL TESTING, to distinguish from more general TESTING
procedure etc.
BIOLOGICAL DAMAGE to distinguish from DAMAGE as resulting from accident or fire.
The same pre-coordination level was adopted for the terminology which refers to a specific aquatic
environment in order to give to the relevant descriptors more specificity as requested by the special-
ised technology in use, or by the organisms involved e.g.
AQUACULTURE as broader term, but also MARINE AQUACULTURE, FRESHWATER
AQUACULTURE and BRACKISHWATER AQUACULTURE.
Very general descriptors which are too generic or too conceptually broad for precise indexing and
retrieval purposes have been included only with the function of recalling under a single generic
"umbrella" term, the pre-coordinated specific descriptors among which to select the most relevant
one e.g.
CONTROL and EQUIPMENT followed by the hierarchical display of narrower precoordinated
descriptors or PROPERTIES followed by a non-hierarchical list of precoordinated descriptors as
related terms.

5. COMPUTER LOADING, CHECKING AND DEVELOPMENT


Following automation via the MultiTes Pro software, the Thesaurus was converted and edited by the
Freshwater Biological Association leading to this print and online version of the ASFIS Thesaurus.

xv
ASFA THESAURUS

6. THESAURUS CLASSIFICATION, STRUCTURE AND NOTATION


6.1 Thesaurus structural relations
As in previous editions, this Thesaurus is structured to display commonly accepted relationships -
preferential, hierarchical and affinitive.

6.2 Notation

6.2.1 Scope notes


SN (scope note), a rough definition of the scope of the term where this is needed (usually for limitation).
Scope notes also indicate the date, year in which additional descriptors to the 1976 version entered
into use ("Added in...") and the dates when previous descriptors were changed, in which case
indication is also given of descriptors previously used ('Before...search...").
The scope notes of a few "umbrella" terms included in the thesaurus recommend the use of
alternative or more specific descriptors as listed below, at hierarchical or related levels.

6.2.2 Alternative relations and synonymy


USE directs the user from a non-descriptor to the relevant descriptor; UF (used for) is the reciprocal
relationship to USE.
The USE-UF cross-relationship is used in a variety of situations:
• for synonyms or near synonyms
man-made lakes USE ARTIFICIAL LAKES
chorology USE BIOGEOGRAPHY
• to indicate preference in spelling
hematology USE HAEMATOLOGY
• to designate a mandatory generically broader descriptor
coastal aquaculture USE MARINE AQUACULTURE
• to designate a preferred, closely related, descriptor
commercialization USE MARKETING
• to indicate preferred (natural) word order
reactions (chemical USE CHEMICAL REACTIONS
pollution (marine) USE MARINE POLLUTION
• to refer from specific commonly-used parameters to the phenomena or properties which they quantify, for
example:
metabolic rate USE METABOLISM
respiratory quotients USE RESPIRATION
fishing mortality coefficients USE FISHING MORTALITY

6.2.3 Hierarchical relations


ASFIS Thesaurus includes mainly generic hierarchical relations, in which the generic descriptor
(broad term) represents a class of concepts expressed by its specific descriptors (narrower terms).
BT (broader term): DISEASES (generic)
NT (narrower term): FISH DISEASES
PLANT DISEASES

6.2.4 Associative or affinitive relations


The non-hierarchical relations, direct the users to alternative descriptors in the event that the lead
descriptor is conceptually inappropriate. They are known as related terms and entered as RT.
Related terms in the ASFIS Thesaurus are displayed also:
• to indicate antinomy
AESTIVATION RT HIBERNATION

xvi
ASFA THESAURUS

• to suggest possible concurrent use of two concepts


ESCAPEMENT RT MESH SELECTIVITY
• to indicate an affinitive relationship other than hierarchic
AQUACULTURE RT AQUACULTURE TECHNIQUES (ie. instrumental relationship)
WATER POLLUTION RT POLLUTION EFFECTS (i.e. cause/effect relationship)

7. GUIDELINES FOR TERM SELECTION BY USER


It is difficult to lay down a coherent set of rules for subject indexing where different research
disciplines and technologies are involved, but users of this Thesaurus should be aware of certain
general considerations:
Only the essential scientific technical concepts, which are necessary for retrieval of the document
abstracted, should be indexed;

Be specific by using the available keyword at the nearest level of specificity.


Example: if a paper deals with migration of juvenile tuna to feeding grounds, do not use
MIGRATIONS as descriptor but the more specific keyword FEEDING MIGRATIONS;

Use a combination of descriptors where needed, even if this involves the redundancy of using "stem
synonyms."
Example: if a paper deals with mesh selectivity of a certain type of fishing net for fishery
regulation purposes, use both relevant descriptors MESH SELECTIVITY and MESH
REGULATIONS plus other related descriptors, e.g., TRAWLS;

Use complimentary descriptors where needed for a particular aquatic environment (marine,
freshwater and brackishwater environment) and its organisms.
Example: (a) if a paper deals with oyster culture in the Ribadeo estuary, use both
descriptors OYSTER CULTURE and BRACKISHWATER AQUACULTURE;
(b) if a paper deals with the effects of pollution on an oceanic species, use both
descriptors MARINE POLLUTION and POLLUTION EFFECTS plus the relevant
taxonomic entry;

Descriptors referring to very broad concepts - "umbrella" terms - which have been included to facilitate
retrieval of the related specific descriptors should not be used alone (i.e. without an additional
subject descriptor which is more specific, for example:
METHODOLOGY may serve as qualifier for a more specific entry such as SHRIMP CULTURE
when the paper dealt with describes methods in use;

Index always with subject descriptors plus the taxonomic entry (in the appropriate tag of the Indexing
Form) those papers that deal with aquatic animals and plants, for which only vernacular names
are given.
Example: (a) a paper dealing with tuna fishery in the World Ocean should be indexed bythe
relevant subject descriptors TUNA FISHERIES and PELAGIC FISHERIES plus the
taxonomic entry SCOMBRIDAE;
(b) a paper dealing with carp culture should be indexed by both relevant subject
descriptors FRESHWATER AQUACULTURE and FISH CULTURE plus the
taxonomic entry CYPRINIDAE;
