Description

return a table of country for the requested species, as reported in FishBASE.org

Usage

country(
  species_list = NULL,
  fields = NULL,
  server = getOption("FISHBASE_API", "fishbase"),
  version = get_latest_release(),
  db = default_db(server, version),
  ...
)

Arguments

species_list

A vector of scientific names (each element as "genus species"). If empty, a table for all fish will be returned.

fields

server

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")'.

version

a version string for the database, will default to the latest release. see [get_releases()] for details.

db

the
