You might also consider investigating the use of the ISNULL() function

It won't return 0 or 1... it'll return 0 or the value...

ie

SELECT s.speciesID, s.speciesName,
       ISNULL(sf.speciesFusionID, "0") as speciesFusionID
       FROM uoaSpecies s
       LEFT JOIN uoaSpeciesFusion sf
       ON (s.speciesID = sf.speciesID AND sf.coID = #url.coID#)

This replaces the value of speciesFusionID with 0 ONLY if 
speciesFusionID is actualy null.
