We describe the Australian Shark-Incident Database, formerly known as the Australian Shark-Attack File, which contains comprehensive reports of 1,196 shark bites that have occurred in Australia over 231 years (1791-2022). Data were collated by the Taronga Conservation Society Australia using purpose-designed questionnaires provided to shark-bite victims or witnesses, media reports, and information provided by the department responsible for fisheries in each Australian state (including the Northern Territory). The dataset includes provoked and unprovoked bites from fresh, brackish, and marine waters in Australia. Data span 22 suspected shark species. This dataset will be publicly available, and can be used by analysts to decipher environmental, biological, and social patterns of shark bites in Australia. The information will aid scientists, conservationists, authorities, and members of the public to make informed decisions when implementing or selecting mitigation measures.
我们描述了澳大利亚鲨鱼事件数据库，该数据库以前称为澳大利亚鲨鱼攻击档案，其中包含了 231 年来（1791-2022 年）在澳大利亚发生的 1196 起鲨鱼咬伤的综合报告。该数据由澳大利亚塔隆加保护协会（Taronga Conservation Society Australia）收集，使用专门设计的问卷收集鲨鱼咬伤受害者或目击者、媒体报道以及澳大利亚每个州（包括北领地）负责渔业的部门提供的信息。该数据集包括澳大利亚淡水、咸水和海水环境中受到挑衅和未受挑衅的咬伤。数据涵盖了 22 种疑似鲨鱼物种。该数据集将公开提供，分析人员可以使用它来破译澳大利亚鲨鱼咬伤的环境、生物和社会模式。这些信息将帮助科学家、保护主义者、当局和公众在实施或选择缓解措施时做出明智的决策。
