validation error for invalid spp code on a fish ticket

[neilriley-NOAA]

trying to upload test data for a real fish ticket in the database and the error below kicked it back upon upload. The test data is included below. Wondering if we need to just add USRK to our list?

VALIDATION ERRORS:
fish ticket errors: {"PACFIN_SPECIES_CODE":["Pacfin species code USRK which maps to fish ticket 206685E is invalid"]}

I determined this is happening because there's no catch-grouping or taxonomy-alias doc with the Pacfin code 'USRK'.
I'm not sure how often this will come up. I'm wondering whether it makes more sense to add catch-groupings with corresponding Pacfin codes as they come up, or to just disable the validation.

I suspect this could happen quite. There could be a lot of different codes that could show up on the fish ticket that may never be used on the logbook. I am leaning toward disabling the validation. Disabling that validation shouldn't affect the calculations...I think
