Code index

165 records carry a national code, across 164 distinct numbers; 448 of 448 records carry a HUWAT code.

A national code is the number on the coded collection form; a HUWAT code is one permanent identifier per record. A record with no national code is one where none is recorded, not one that has none.

165records carry a national code (of 448 published records)

The code 2402 is carried by 2 records: Cheilinus lunulatus (HWT-FISH-0187), Cheilinus undulatus (HWT-FISH-0190). The coded form was filled in by hand, so one number does not always identify one fish. Who holds this number →
