Method Detail

getAphiaID

int getAphiaID(String scientificname,
               boolean marine_only)
               throws RemoteException

Get the (first) exact matching AphiaID for a given name.
Parameters:

• marine_only: limit to marine taxa. Default=true.

Throws:

RemoteException

getAphiaRecords

AphiaRecord[] getAphiaRecords(String scientificname,
                              boolean like,
                              boolean fuzzy,
                              boolean marine_only,
                              int offset)
                              throws RemoteException

Get one or more matching (max. 50) AphiaRecords for a given name.
Parameters:

• like: add a '%'-sign added after the ScientificName (SQL LIKE function). Default=true.
• fuzzy: fuzzy matching. Default=true.
• marine_only: limit to marine taxa. Default=true.
• offset: starting recordnumber, when retrieving next chunck of (50) records. Default=1.

Throws:

RemoteException

getAphiaNameByID

String getAphiaNameByID(int aphiaID)
                        throws RemoteException

Get the correct name for a given AphiaID.

Throws:

RemoteException

getAphiaRecordByID

AphiaRecord getAphiaRecordByID(int aphiaID)
                               throws RemoteException

Get the complete Aphia Record for a given AphiaID.

Throws:

RemoteException

getAphiaRecordByTSN

AphiaRecord getAphiaRecordByTSN(int TSN)
                                throws RemoteException

Get the Aphia Record for a given TSN (ITIS Taxonomic Serial Number).

Throws:

RemoteException

getAphiaRecordsByNames
