All of these tables represent acceptible values for use when importing data. You can see the content of an individual taxonomy at the R command line, e.g. mfdb::gear

Each of the datasets will have the following columns.

id: A numeric ID to be used internally
name: An alphanumeric ID to be used when importing and reporting data.
description: Some text describing the option.
t_group: Groups together several items to query all in one go. e.g. for institutes you can query 'NOR' to get all institutes in Norway.

The taxonomies are used in the following locations:

case_study: Possible case studies, use when connecting with mfdb()
gear, institute, vessel_type: Used to describe the dataset being imported with mfdb_import_survey()
sex, maturity_stage, species: Used for individual sample points when using mfdb_import_survey()
