Útbreiðsla landsela (Phoca vitulina) og talningagögn 1980-2018. Útbreiðsla  útsela (Halichoerus grypus) og talningagögn 1982-2017. 
[Seal haul-outs around Iceland]. 

Fjögur flákalög sem sýna kortlagningu 430 landselslátra á 93 talningasvæðum (ni_d25v_landselir_1980_2018_selalatur_fl, ni_d25v_landselir_1980_2018_talningarsvaedi_fl) og 86 útselslátra á 19 talningasvæðum (ni_d25v_utselir_1982_2017_selalautur_fl, ni_d25v_utselir_1982_2017_talningarsvaedi_fl). Talningagögn segja til um fjölda sela á hverju talningasvæði. Selir eru taldir á nokkurra ára fresti og gefur ágæta mynd af breytingum í stofnstærð og umfangi selalátra. Landselir eru taldir síðsumars en útselir að hausti. Nánari skýringar á aðferðum við selatalningar og stofnmat er að finna í Fjölriti 56.
Látur eru strandsvæði sem selir leita á til að kæpa, sinna uppeldi kópa, hafa feldskipti og hvílast. Orðið selalátur vísar hér til smæstu samfelldu spildanna þar sem selir halda til. Talningasvæði er aftur á móti víðtækara safnheiti sem oftast nær yfir mörg smærri selalátur. 
Nákvæmni kortlagningu selalátra miðast við mælikvarða 1:25.000, en nákvæmni talningasvæða er um 1:250.000.

[General overview of the seal haul-out locations around Iceland for harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus). The harbour seal population has been monitored with direct counts (aerial censuses) since 1980 and the grey seal population since 1982. Both feature classes 'latur' show the haul-outs (Icelandic: látur) for each species. The haul-outs are grouped into counting zones (Icelandic: talningarsvæði) and both feature classes 'talningarsvaedi' show the associated population counts.]

Talningargögn fyrir árið 2017 (útselir) og 2018 (landselir) bætt við.

1. útg. 1. maí 2018:
Fylgst hefur verið nokkuð reglulega með breytingum á stofnstærð landsels síðan 1980 og útsels síðan 1982 (Erlingur Hauksson o.fl.2014; Jóhann Garðar Þorbjörnsson o.fl.2017). Talningagögn á selum undanfarna áratugi eru grunnur að heildstæðri kortlagningu selalátra við strendur Íslands. Árin 2015 til 2018 var unnið að kortlagningu selalátra á NÍ með aðstoð og upplýsingum frá Erlingi Haukssyni. Gunnhildur I. Georgsdóttir hafði umsjón með kortlagningu.
Flákalög fyrir selalátur voru teiknuð upp eftir loftmyndum í forritinu ESRI ArcMap. Allir flákar voru merktir með safnheiti viðkomandi talningasvæðis. Ekki var alltaf auðvelt að ákvarða útlínur einstakra látra þar sem náttúruleg mörk milli látra ráðast af fjölda og dreifingu sela á hverjum stað á talningatíma. Talning fór ekki fram árlega og á sumum svæðum vantar talningagögn einstaka ár (-1 = gögn vantar).
Flákalög fyrir talningasvæði voru teiknuð 2017 og afmarkast út frá nálægð einstakra látra í fjörum. Innan talningasvæða eru mismunandi mörg látur. 
Frekari upplýsingar um selalátur á Íslandi má finna í Fjölrit nr. 56.</gco:CharacterString>
