Hello! I am working on trying to ingest some tables from SeaLifeBase by using the rfishbase package directly. I was interested in getting data from tables with the names asfis, biblio2
citesfb, classification_tree, countrysubfaoref, homerange, occurrence, and zweb_rdecomnameslanguage. However, when I tried to use fb_tbl() to pull those tables in R Studio, there were error messages saying that the corresponding tables were not found for SeaLifeBase. However, the same tables can be downloaded for FishBase.
Also, I was interested in getting data from tables with the names collectionsref, ecosysfam, faoarfam, and oceanprovinces from SeaLifeBase too. Those tables can be queried and it seemed like they do exist, but SeaLifeBase returned no records (0 zeros) for those tables.
Thus, I just want to reach out and ask if those issues can be solved or how to solve those issues currently. My R Studio version is 2026.07.1+147 and my R version is 4.6.1 (2026-06-24). I will appreciate your help! Thank you!
