In July a request was received from the Government of Vanuatu for assistance in compiling a similar bibliography of material relating to Vanuatu's fisheries and marine resources. After discussions between the staff of the Fisheries Department and the FAO/UNDP Programme, it was decided that a search for appropriate documents would take place in Noumea and Suva during August and in Port Vila at the beginning of November. A total of 37 offices and collections were examined for both published and unpublished material appropriate for the bibliography. In addition,18 expatriate workers who had reviously worked in a fisheries related field in Vanuatu were contacted. The above work resulted in a list of 411 references which are arranged in this document by author and by subject. As the objective of this project was to produce a document as useful as possible to fisheries workers in Vanuatu, a "user-friendly" bibliographic style was adopted. It is strongly recommended that Fisheries Division personnel update this document periodically. The authors wish to acknowledge the encouragement and support of Mike Shepard in this project. The staff of the Department of Fisheries, especially Richard Kaltongga, Rave Robin, and Albert Carlot, were most helpful. In addition, the assistance of Rene Grandperrin, Luis Devambez, Marcus Chambers, and Hazel Wallace-Williams was much appreciated.
