Journal "Diseases of Aquatic Organisms"  published by Inter-Research Science Center
This scientific journal, for which volumes 69-75 were published in 2006, rates itself as the foremost journal in this field.  For 2006 the subscription cost was 1295 euros, and for 2007 it will be 780 euros for 4 volumes 76-79.  The reason it is listed here is that DAO "Diseases of Aquatic Organisms" articles are made freely accessible online on the Internet 4 years after publication, compliments of Inter-Research Science Center. For example, DAO articles published in 2002 became available in January 2006.  Therefore, it is well worthwhile to go to the web site www.int-res.com/journals/dao/dao-home/ to use this resource, not only to see the articles prior to four years ago, but also the listings for more recent articles.  It has a search box at this web site to find key words for authors, articles, etc., on subjects in the journal DAO.  On the web page given above is a list of all the volumes back to 1995.  Clicking on the volumes provides a table of contents of the articles, for which abstracts can be read for each article1995 to date.

Topix.net "Aquaculture" 
See http://www.topix.net/business/aquaculture
Topix.net had "Aquaculture News" that was e-mailed gratis to subscribers.  Coverage in aquatic health news was declining, and is now inactive.  It also has an "Aquaculture Forum" for interchange of comments, which is presently mostly inactive.  Since Topix.net was a useful resource, it is listed here in case coverage in aquaculture is resurrected.  To register go to http://www.topix.net/member/register/. Topix.net is prone to glitches, for which one is supposed to notify webmaster@topix.net.
