Biota identification and organism lookup tableBiota identificationFlora and fauna should always be identified by using the standard taxonomy of organisms provided with the EDD. The unabbreviated genus and species (and if applicable, sub-species or variant) should be included with each relevant observation record, e.g., Gillichthys mirabilis. Alternatively, the OrganismCode can be used (see Organism lookup table). |
