@nicolasvanermen how many characters are EURING codes? I always assumed 5 characters, with leading zeros?

Is that correct?

peterdesmet commented 1 year ago

Once confirmed, the following codes should be fixed in the ICES DB:

[ ] Limit to 5, not 6 characters
[ ] Drop one leading 0 for most records
- [ ] If this is not done, change 62540 to 062540
[ ] Add leading zeros for:
- [ ] 1240 to 01240
- [ ] 1470 to 01470
- [ ] 2350 to 02350
- [ ] 2980 to 02980
- [ ] 4839 to 04839
- [ ] 6220 to 06220
- [ ] 6310 to 06310
- [ ] 7960 to 07960
- [ ] 8000 to 08000
- [ ] 8009 to 08009
- [ ] 9950 to 09950

Yes , up until now euring codes always use 5 characters; see https://app.bto.org/euringcodes/species.jsp

Thanks Nicolas

@cmspinto @Osanna123 can the species list in the ESAS database be updated so that EURING codes are always 5 characters. That way, they are also returned correctly by the API. See https://github.com/ices-tools-dev/esas/issues/143#issuecomment-1825864727 for details.
