ProQuest Deep Indexing: Aquatic Sciences supplements the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Abstracts (ASFA) Database and select related files with access to deep indexing for tables, figures, graphs, charts and other illustrations from the scholarly research and technical literature for selected records.
“Deep indexing” categorizes data, variables and other content represented in tables, maps, photographs and other figures. It allows users to search and retrieve information from these resources typically embedded in scholarly publications.
