Legacy Series

The following NMFS legacy publication series dating back to the 1940s are now available in electronic format as PDFs.

These series are linked by name and publication number on the pages below:

Fishery Facts
NOAA Technical Report NMFS series (replaced by NOAA Professional Paper NMFS series in 2003)
Test Kitchen Series (and misc. fish cookery publications)

For the rest of the legacy series, we are still creating directory pages to list all titles with links to available electronic files. We expect to complete that task soon. In the meantime, if you know the publication number, you may be able to access the electronic file using the format below. Copy the entire URL then replace "#" with the publication number. (If you have only the publication title, you can try searching for it using the scanned indexes or a search engine such as google to locate the publication number.)
