Epidermal thickness and relative papillary height of the skin from the urogenital region were compared with values from the ventral aspect of the flipper and the mid-dorsal body wall. Data…
(...) Little data exists on the swimming movements of dolphins and whales. The earliest record of cetacean swimming kinematics came from Parry (1949), who observed the swimming motions of a…
Dall's porpoises, Phocoenoides dalli, were often incidentally caught in the Japanese salmon gillnet fishery in the North Pacific. In order to investigate the reasons for entanglement, their auditory characteristics and…
We describe the life history of harbor porpoises in the Gulf of Maine by examining 239 animals killed in gill net fisheries and comparing these findings with the results of…
The structure of the retina, the distribution of ganglion cells, and the extent of the tapetum lucidum were studied in Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) with the aim of understanding the…
Blood chemistry values were measured from 31 harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) released from herring weirs in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. Sodium, phosphorus, calcium, chloride, magnesium, total protein, albumin, globulin,…
Variation in zonation and Growth Layer Group (GLG) formation and underlying causes are reviewed. Five different types of anomaly were investigated in the teeth of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena): pulp…
Published and new fresh and museum specimens of Burmeister's porpoise, Phocoena spinipinnis, collected prior to the recent research in Peru, Chile and Argentina, are listed and described. Distribution is from…
(...) Brody (1945) fitted an allometric equation to heart mass (kg) as a function of body mass (kg) for adult mammals ranging in body size from 0.01 to over 100,000…
