Records of vagrant phocid seals (family Phocidae) and fur seals (family Otariidae) in South Australia (1913-2012)

Two fur seal species breed on the southern coast of Australia: the Australian fur seal (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus) and the New Zealand fur seal (A. forsteri). Two other species are vagrants: the subantarctic fur seal (A. tropicalis) and the Antarctic fur seal (A. gazella). We document records of vagrant fur seals in South Australia from 1982 to 2012. Five species of phocid seal of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica come ashore occasionally on the southern Australian coast but do not breed there. This dataset is of records (specimens and sightings) of visits to South Australia (SA) by southern phocids from 1883 until August 2011.

在澳大利亚南部海岸繁殖的两种海豹物种分别为澳大利亚海豹（Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus）和纽西兰海豹（A. forsteri）。另外两种为漂泊物种：亚南极海豹（A. tropicalis）和南极海豹（A. gazella）。本数据集记录了1982年至2012年间在南澳大利亚发现的漂泊海豹的记录。五种属于南大洋和南极洲的斑海豹物种偶尔会登陆澳大利亚南部海岸，但并未在此地繁殖。该数据集包含了自1883年起至2011年8月，南部斑海豹访问南澳大利亚（SA）的记录（包括标本和目击事件）。
