Access to species temperature tolerance range data #180

Closed jatalah closed 4 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to access the species temperature range using rfishbase?

This info appears on the Environment section on the main page for each species in FishBase.

For example: Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution rangeEcology Freshwater; brackish; benthopelagic; potamodromous (Ref. 51243); depth range 0 - 20 m (Ref. 32849), usually ? - 20 m (Ref. 34290). Tropical; 14°C - 33°C (Ref. 3); 32°N - 5°S, 17°W - 38°E

Cheers, J

Try the environment() table? Usually the rfishbase function names match the FishBase page names, though sometimes it just takes some poking around. see https://github.com/ropensci/rfishbase#fishbase-docs-discovering-data
