Enkidoh, thank you so much for that! This is awesome!

And thank you everyone. This has been an amazing read. This is exactly the information I've been looking for and is now bookmarked.

they first were used in the FFXI Abbysea 'add-on' expansions, where they replaced previously used Imperial measurements.

Pretty sure that ilm, fulm, malm, etc WELL predates Abyssea. The Fulm-Long Salmon Sub was one of the original recipes in the game and was NEVER called a Foot-Long Salmon Sub. (The text description also mentions Malms.)

While my memory from fourteen years ago is admittedly spotty, I have vague recollections of wondering just what the heck a malm was when I first started playing the game, and that eureka moment when I finally figured it out. I started when the game was first released for PS2, long before Abyssea was even a twinkle in a developer's eye.

No, these units of measurement have been around a lot longer than Abyssea.
