Why is "Brazil, Bahia" mentioned in the distribution? It doesn't seem to be anywhere close to the described locations that I can find.

Please, delete Brazil, Bahia

Can you please try to provide accurate information in future - if we are going to use the information you have, then it is important that it is correct. In this case, I suspected it was wrong, so I looked up the facts elsewhere and couldn't find any reference to Brazil (or Bahia). But that's just because it was quite an obvious difference between two different locations.

If I have to look everything up, it would be much easier if someone just pointed out "this <clog-link> doesn't have information for field XXX", and in many cases, it's quite easy to find the information in Catalog of Fishes or Fishbase - the difficulty is figuring out where it's not present, as it's not easy to search for "contains nothing" in the general search tools.

Agreed, thanks for spending time on this Mats. We have to double check all information Rudolph supplies as most of what I have seen contains rubbish. I don't want to throw it away immediately, but we might end up doing that.

As this is caused more work than is necessary I would like to put a "stake in the ground". Anything posted in caps or not in English then it just gets moved straight to the "Resolved" forum with a comment like "Rejected because [insert reason]". Otherwise, I guess we check it out and update the cat-elog with data.

It will be a long time of good information before we put it online without checking...
