Library
Our main library was established at the Lowestoft laboratory in
the 1920s. It has become one of the world's most extensive
collections of publications on fisheries, the marine environment
and aquaculture science.
Our library facilities are primarily for the use of Cefas staff,
but they are available for reference to associated academics, other
research workers and bona fide enquirers by prior
appointment. Charges are made for some services: a list of
those is available on request.
Most simple enquiries can often be answered by referring to the
publications
listed in the database on this website. Enquiries are also accepted
by email, telephone or letter. We can usually provide an answer or
point you in the right direction. The range of subjects covered are
noted below.
Enquiries relating to formulated national or
international policies on the marine or aquatic environment
should be directed to the Defra helpline: + 44 (0) 8459 335577. Or
you may contact them by email at helpline@defra.gsi.gov.uk.
