This bibliography is intended to be comprehensive for published research on the Canyons, including selected non-scientific publications. To assist in reading this bibliography, some background information on the canyons is first provided. The bibliography is arranged from the most recent to oldest. Annotations are included for many publications so that the reader can learn a lot about the Canyons without chasing down individual publications. To learn more about specific topics in the Canyons, one has to read through the cited publications of interest, almost all of which are available in Scripps Institution of Oceanography Library's collection.

Dr. Hoyt granted the American Fisheries Society Early Life History Section permission to prepare, update, and distribute his 13,717-record bibliography (comprehensive for literature through 1987, but out-of-print) as a personal computer file or searchable resource on the Internet so long as the file is made available to all interested parties and neither it nor printed versions of it are sold for profit. Because of computer search capabilities, it was deemed unnecessary to provide a computer text version of Dr. Hoyt's subject, scientific name, common name, family name, and location indices (Volume II).

The file has now been further edited for duplicate records and errors. The update incorporates a file of records through 1997 provided by George W. Boehlert, references gleaned from over 25 academic and governmental web sites, and Current Contents software for published literature from 1999 to 5 August 2002. The bibliography now includes 15,596 records from 1842 through July 2002. Many references are yet to be identified and added to the bibliography for the period of 1988 through 1997 and especially the year 1998.

Bibliographic format generally follows American Fisheries Society guidelines except that standard journal abbreviations are acceptable.

The Scripps Institution of Oceanography published an annual compilation of reprints from 1938 – 2001, ending with volume 71. Submission of publications to the Contributions by Scripps authors was voluntary, so the citations in the Contributions are not a complete institutional bibliography for these years.   This is only an Index of these Contributions, the print volumes of the Contributions are in the UC San Diego Library, catalog record is at:  https://search-library.ucsd.edu/permalink/01UCS_SDI/qdfgul/alma991001770679706535

This scientific bibliography on human-powered submarines aims to list references containing some level of technical information. The references are listed in reverse chronological order.

This annotated bibliography covers the published literature on the flora and vertebrate fauna of the islands surrounding the Baja California peninsula. While comprehensive, it cannot claim to be exhaustive; however, Biological Abstracts and Zoological Record were searched extensively, back to the beginning of those indexes. With few exceptions, the author has examined either the materials themselves or abstracts. The bibliography is annotated, not abstracted. The descriptor field lists the islands mentioned in the work, or the phrases "Gulf Islands" and "Pacific Islands". The bibliography does not include Guadalupe, Socorro, the Tres Marias or other outlying islands. It contains few references to pinniped populations, and none to fish, insects or invertebrates since it is limited to vertebrate species and the terrestrial habitat. It does not cover the Mexican or Latin American literature on the islands to any great degree. Last Updated: July, 1997

The San Diego Bay Bibliography references the scientific & gray literature on the Bay up through 1994 and it is NOT current. Compiled from numerous resources (including Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute, Regional Water Quality Control Board, & local library catalogs), it is not comprehensive since so the Bay literature is elusive. In addition, there can be duplicate references varying in completeness.

The San Diego Bay Bibliography is the outcome of discussion and networking within the San Diego Oceans Foundation's Ocean Resources Committee.

The Southern California Channel Islands Bibliography, through 1992, comprises 4035 references to the scientific literature on Southern California's Channel Islands. The Bibliography was compiled by the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary and is presented here in a February 1993 version.

The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History presents a California Channel Islands Bibliography on its website. It has more recent references and overlaps considerably with this bibliography. However this bibliography has some references not in their database, so it is maintained in original form.

This bibliography on the ecology of the Southern California Bight presents 6,768 references on the Bight and relevant literature from the west coast of North America. It also includes useful references from other well-studied bights and ecosystems. This Bibliography was originally published as cited above. This bibliography was done under contract for the US Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service Pacific Outer Continental Shelf Region and comprises much of the literature cited by the chapters in: Ecology of the Southern California Bight, a Synthesis and Interpretation MD Dailey et al. Berkeley, CA : University of California Press, 1993.
