`X`	a `data.table` containing trawl data
`reg`	a region; should be one of the following: `c("ai","ebs","gmex","goa", "neus", "newf", "sa", "sgulf", "shelf", "wcann", "wctri")`

relies on spp.key data file that comes with this package. In "/inst/extdata" there is also a .csv version of this file that is being used. Taxonomy corrections are an ongoing process. Also adds taxonomic classification, some ecological information (trophic level), common names, whether or not a picture is available with this package, and other miscellanious information about how the taxonomic correction was made.

The ref column in the output is the name of the original species name/ taxonomic identifier.
