Quality Data from the South Australian Museum has not been verified or checked in a
systematic way. Data is often sourced from specimen labels, particularly for
old museum specimens and inaccuracy is often
due to this fact.

Access Constraints Data supplied to OBIS by the South Australian Museum is freely accessible by
the public. The data supplied may not represent the total holdings of the
Museum as data about incompletely identified specimens, manuscript names and
specimens where a georeference cannot be calculated have normally been withheld
from publication.

Use Constraints Data users should acknowledge the South Australian Museum and also OZCAM,
Australia's Fauna.

Acknowledge the use of specific records from the Australian museum in the form
appearing in the 'Citation' field thereof (if any); and acknowledge the use of
the OBIS facility.

For information purposes, email to obissupport@marine.rutgers.edu the full
citation of any publication made (printed or electronic) that cites OBIS or any
constituent part.

Recognize the limitations of data in OBIS.
