TM list

Description

The present list is destined to code the marine species encountered in the Mediterranean. It has been built following the principle used in the Nordic Code Centre (Stockholm). For most of the species the codes are identical to those proposed by the NCC. However some species can be coded differently. In addition numerous Mediterranean species are not included in the NCC code and have been added. So the present list is specific. It has to be referred as the TM list (Taxonomic list not only Faunistic, FM list).
