ABSTRACT
The objectives of this research were to analyze content of “Thai Fisheries Gazette” and study the development and trends in the content of the gazette based on 294 issues with a total of 2,905 articles published between 1948-2007. A content analysis form was used as the research tool. Quantitative data was analyzed using frequencies, percentage, trend line equation and coefficient of determination. The results showed that: (1) Most contents of “Thai Fisheries Gazette” were articles written by 1 person. Most authors were Fisheries Department officers. Most articles were written in Thai language and in an academic written format. Most topics were related to aquaculture and there were no references. Those with references listed 1-5 items most of which were journal articles. (2) The trend in the content of the gazette was an increase in the number of articles written by 2 persons and by 3 persons, and articles written by Fisheries Department officers. Most of them tended to be written in Thai, in the form of research articles and interview articles. Their contents tended to be related to aquaculture. In terms of references, there tended to be more referenced articles that listed English journals, English books, Thai technical papers, Thai books and Thai journals as reference sources. Another trend in the content of the gazette was a decrease in the number of written academic articles. No clear trend was detected in the number of authors either written by 1 person, by more than 3 persons and by anonymous; authors from the Ministry of Education; language either Thai articles and English articles; type of articles either general articles, translated academic articles, review articles, descriptive, seminar or discussion articles; content either articles related to fisheries, fishing, fisheries products, aquatic biology and ecology and other disciplines; and references either articles with no references and number of reference sources.
