Discrepancy in vulnerability values and lacking aquarium metadata #246

Closed rikkeonielsen closed 1 year ago

rikkeonielsen commented 2 years ago

Hi

1) How can I access the table which includes the data on ‘Climate Vulnerability’? When I download the full data from the estimate table _fbtbl("estimates") in which I expect it to be it is not there. When I download the full data data <- species(fish) I get data on 'Vulnerability', but this value does not correspond to the value I expect from the webpage. Does anyone know why this is the case? This example is for the species Sphyrna lewini

2) Additionally, does anyone know how to find the metadata for the aquarium table? Fishbase does not specify what the values mean anywhere in their glossary lists etc. And since I get access to more data using this interface I am as well interested to know exactly what the additional data means.

rfishbase relies on periodic snapshots (see README) that may lag behind the official web server. can you test the recent release (Jan 2023 release, aka v23.01)
