species_names

a vector of speccodes (e.g. column from a table)

codes

can be set to either "fishbase" or "sealifebase" to switch between databases. NOTE: it is usually
easier to leave this as NULL and set the source instead using the environmental variable `FISHBASE_API`, e.g.
`Sys.setenv(FISHBASE_API="sealifebase")`.

server

returns species names given FishBase's SpecCodes

A programmatic interface to <http://www.fishbase.org>, re-written
based on an accompanying 'RESTful' API. Access tables describing over 30,000
species of fish, their biology, ecology, morphology, and more. This package also
supports experimental access to <http://www.sealifebase.org> data, which contains
nearly 200,000 species records for all types of aquatic life not covered by
'FishBase.'
