locate.logbook(2013:2015, species = "snow crab")             # Find all snow crab fishery logbook data files from 2013-2015.

# Locate groundfish and pelagic fishery logbook data:
locate.logbook()                                             # Find all available ziff files.
locate.ziff()                                                # Find all available ziff files.
locate.ziff(year = 2000:2008, region = "g")                  # Find Gulf region ziff files from 2000-2008.     
locate.ziff(year = 2002:2003, region = c("Gulf", "Quebec"))  # Find Gulf and Quebec regions ziff files from 2002-2003.
