Use the subject headings on the left to navigate among these collections of sources. Keep in mind that more than one subject is likely to be relevant to your project. For each subject I have chosen a few sources that seem to me to be the most likely to be useful to you--books that will help you get started exploring a literature, journals that are frequently cited by ocean studies senior research projects, and sources of open-access data sets. These are intended as starting points only; once you are reading deeply in your literature, you will be able to find sources using internal references.
Global Atlas of Marine Fisheries by 
Encyclopedia of Aquaculture by When a Google Scholar or database search can return hundreds of thousands of results, the problem of scholarly research becomes finding the right sources. Instead of wading through masses of search results on a big platform, you can save time by searching directly in sources that you know will have the kind of source you need: peer-reviewed journals focused on your topic. These are a few prominent journals in this area:

Evaluation, Comparison and Calibration of Oceanographic Instruments by 
Oceanographic Instrumentation by When looking for journals on ocean engineering topics as they relate to sampling methods or tools, it is important to keep in mind that useful articles can appear both in engineering journals and in substantive scientific journals; for example an article on a new core-sampling design might appear in the Journal of Geophysical Research, instead of in a journal dedicated to designing sampling equipment.
