Anatomy and Embryology (1986)
For the first time in cetaceans, the development of the terminalis system and its continuity between the olfactory placode and the telencephalon has been demonstrated by light microscopy. In the…

-San Antonio, Texas- In July of 1987, a Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli), with her umbilical cord still attached, stranded in Bodega Bay, California. She was transported to Marine World Africa,…
Morphogenesis of the brain in a cetacean species has been investigated by means of reconstructions from serial sections of successive prenatal stages of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Four specimens…
Examination of 95 Dall's porpoise specimens incidentally caught in gillnets, and four collected as beach strandings, indicate that there is significant sexual dimorphism and developmental variation in several aspects of…
This study shows that in Bottlenose dolphins and in Harbour porpoises the presence of marginal papillae is age related. In Bottlenose dolphins the papillae disappear around the age of 16…
We compared the contents of 31 stomachs of harbour porpoise calves killed in commercial gill nets in the Bay of Fundy between July and September, 1985–1991, with the stomach contents…
Dall's porpoises from the Sea of Japan population taken by a dolphin fishery vessel were examined. Estimated body lengths at sexual maturity were similar to those for the truei-type population…
We have 189 specimens available for this work. One-hundred and sixty-seven specimens from the Yangtze, Yellow Sea and South China Sea populations were aged and used in studying the growth…
We studied development and sexual dimorphism in external measurements of Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the northwestern North Pacific. Relative rates of increase in the measurements of the head and…
In the coastal waters of western Kyushu, Japan, a total of 97 incidentally taken or stranded finless porpoises, Neophocaena phocaenoides, was collected for studying age, growth and reproduction. An additional…
