FAQ

Questions FishBase owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I switch between FishBase and SeaLifeBase data?

    Yes. Most capabilities include a use_sealifebase parameter. Set it to true to query the SeaLifeBase database instead of the default FishBase.

  • 02

    How do I find the common names for a specific fish species?

    Use the list_comnames capability and provide the species name in the species parameter. You can also limit the results or filter specific fields.

  • 03

    Where can I find documentation for the database tables?

    You can use get_docs for general metadata or get_docs_by_table to get detailed documentation for a specific table name.
