 | Bonner, W.N. Southern Fur Seals, Arctocephalus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and Cuvier, 1826), in: Ridgway, S.H. and Harrison, R.J. (eds.): Handbook of Marine Mammals, vol. |
| The main problem areas for this fur seal are: increased pollution with pesticides and heavy metals of its habitat, increased disturbance and the high level of net entanglement cases. |
| The Australian population was originally described as to belong to Arctocephalus doriferus (which is now a subspecies of Arctocephalus pusillus), but later it was realized that this animal was similar to the New Zealand fur seal, described as Arctocephalus forsteri. |
