I was looking through the 2006 edition of the Writer's Market under literary agents and there was a request for only Blasdell Science Fiction. Does anyone out there have any idea what that is?

It appears that she is a literary agent for science fiction. That is what I'm gathering from her signature at the end of this article:

REVIEW:
"Best known for his short fiction, Stross shows that he's a master of the novel form as well in this exciting sequel to 2003's acclaimed Singularity Sky, serving up compelling space opera and cutting-edge tech with a tasty dash of satire. In the 24th century, a McWorld ('bland, comfortable, tolerant... boring') called New Moscow apparently has been destroyed by trade rival New Dresden — but not before New Moscow launched its own Slower-Than-Light (STL) counterstrike: a massive ship accelerated to 80% the speed of light. The U.N., now central Earth government, knows New Dresden was set up. They need the STL's recall code, now known only to a handful of New Moscow's ambassadors — but someone has been systematically assassinating them. U.N. special operative Rachel Mansour and her husband, engineer Martin Springfield, must protect the last living ambassador and find out who's really responsible for the whole mess. Stross skillfully balances suspense and humor throughout, offering readers — especially fans of Iain M. Banks and Ken MacLeod — a fascinating future that seems more than possible. Agent, Caitlin Blasdell at Lisa Dawson Associates. (July 6)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Also this:
Finally, here's a list [updated June 2006] of all the American literary agents who represent three or more living members of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, not including themselves (this doesn't constitute an endorsement, of course, and there are fine angents who are not on this list). You can find current addresses for all of these in the publication Literary Market Place ("LMP"), available at large libraries.

If you're looking to buy a directory of agents that gives more information, try the current edition of Jeff Herman's Writer's Guide to Book Editors, Publishers, and Literary Agents:
