Interactions between marine mammals and fisheries were monitored along the southwestern Atlantic coast of Argentina from Bahia Samborombon (Buenos Aires Province) to Tierra del Fuego Island. A variety of fisheries…
Since 1974, species of small cetaceans, fur seals, sea lions, sea birds and to some extent sea otters, have been taken deliberately each year for bait in the Chilean artisanal…
A general description of gillnet fisheries in the Southeast Pacific area (comprising the waters of Ecuador, Peru and Chile) is presented and their potential threat to cetaceans is discussed. Information…
A global review of mortality of porpoises in gillnet fisheries indicates that individuals of all six species become entangled and die in gillnets. Harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena are taken throughout…
Coastal and pelagic fishing activities in the area of Necochea harbour, where high mortality of franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei) in gillnets had been previously reported, and at Claromeco, a small gillnet…
Portions of the cytochrome b gene and control region of the mitochondrial DNA molecule were sequenced to investigate systematic relationships among the six extant species of true porpoises, (Cetacea: Phocoenidae).…
Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis), one of the most common small cetaceans in Peruvian waters, suffers the second highest fishing mortality. Biological data obtained from porpoises caught in gillnets off Peru…
Eight fresh specimens of Burmeister's porpoise caught in gillnets in the Necochea area (Buenos Aires Province) were studied for external morphometrics, age, basic reproductive data, organochlorine pollutant levels and parasites.…
Although thought to be fairly common off the western and southeastern coasts of South America, Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis) has seldom been seen alive by cetacean researchers. Published sightings are…
