Persistent organochlorines (PCBs and p,p′-DDE) in the bodies of dalli- and truei-type Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the Bering Sea and the northwestern North Pacific were used as chemical tracers…
Persistent organochlorines (PCBs and p,p′-DDE) in the bodies of dalli- and truei-type Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the Bering Sea and the northwestern North Pacific were used as chemical tracers…
We investigated the feeding ecology and habitat use of 32 harbour porpoises by-caught in 4 localities along the Scandinavian coast from the North Sea to the Barents Sea using time-integrative…
Selected trace elements (Cd, Cu, Hg, Se, Zn) were measured in the kidneys and the liver of 104 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) stranded along the coasts of France, Galicia (Spain),…
Geographic variation in the level of radioactive caesium-137 (137Cs) was examined from the axial muscle of 36 harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena obtained as bycatch from 5 locations along the coast…
Total and subcellular renal Zn, Cu, Se, Mn, V, Hg, Cd and Ag were determined by a mother–fetus pair of Dall’s porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli). All element concentrations in the maternal…
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in the blubber, liver and kidney of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded in Hong…
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.…
Organochlorine contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated bornanes (CHBs), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), chlordanes (CHLORs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and, chlorobenzenes (CBZs) were quantified in 188 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) killed in commercial fisheries…
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the level of persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals in different tissues of four harbour porpoises caught at Danish coasts and…
To investigate possible relationships between polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure and infectious disease mortality in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in United Kingdom waters, summed blubber concentrations of 25 chlorobiphenyl congeners (Σ25CB)…
