In May 1988 requests were received from Tokelau and from Tuvalu for assistance in compiling similar bibliographies. As there is much in common between these two countries with respect to the marine environment, fishery resources, fishing practices, and traditions, information on a particular subject in one country may be applicable to the other. It was therefore thought appropriate to combine the two bibliographies. Hopefully, this will encourage an exchange of fisheries information between Tokelau and Tuvalu. For this project a total of 33 offices and collections in Western Samoa, Tuvalu, Fiji, and New Caledonia were examined from June to September 1988 for both published and unpublished material appropriate for the bibliography. In addition, five expatriate workers who had previously worked in a fisheries related field in Tuvalu were contacted. Two bibliographic computer searches were carried out and requests for relevant material were sent to five major university libraries. The above work resulted in a list of 443 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 Tokelau and Tuvalu, a "user-friendly" bibliographic style was adopted. Thc information was entered into a MicroSoft Word computer file and a total of 250 copies of the bibliography have been printed. It is strongly recommended that personnel of the Tokelau Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Tuvalu Fisheries Division update this document periodically. The author wishes to express his appreciation for the many people who assisted with this project. Lina Peleti, Tuvalu Fisheries Research Assistant, and Katieli Peleti, Tokelau Agriculture Research Assistant, contributed to the compilation. Staff of the Tokelau Department of Agriculture and Fisheries and the Tuvalu Fisheries Division provided substantial assistance. Previous Tuvalu bibliographies by Rodgers & Cantrell (1988) and Eldredge (1987) were available for the present compilation. Both the contribution of those works and their authors' assistance is acknowledged. Taku fakatau te tusi foliki tenei e aonga kii. And Talohia ko te tuhi taigole tenei ke aoga lahi.
