mdoering commented 9 months ago

Willem Coetzer has provided us in December 2020 with a name of fishes that should be correct names, but which have slightly different spellings in GBIF & COL: errors.xlsx

Since then not much has changed in Fishbase. How can be speed things up?

@dhobern please raise this on the next Vertebrate meeting!

Dear @NicBailly, & @dhobern, we really need to act. CoL cannot get updates for FishBase since 2018.

How we can get data in CoLDP format (it would be an ideal solution)?
Could FishBase API be used for data import in the Checklistbank?
What is a current state of 3-years old plans to migrate FishBase data in Aphia?
What is a current state of a plan on marriage of Eschmeyer's Catalog and FishBase?

Thanks @yroskov - I'll include this in the agenda for the vertebrates subgroup - I hope @NicBailly will be able to join.
