The purpose of this study was to gather base-line life history data on the harbor porpoise. The information presented here describes only those aspects which would affect a census. During…
The distribution of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena (L.). is re-examined using a compilation of all available recent information. Three isolated major populations of this species exist: in the North…
Since 1978, the annual incidental take of Dall's porpoises by the Japanese salmon land-based and mothership fisheries has been reported to the International North Pacific Fisheries Commission by the Japan…
Sound production mechanisms have been studied in two delphinid species - the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena (L.), and the bottlenosed dolphin, Tursiops truncatus (Montagu). It was found that, in both…

Catch statistics for 15 species of small cetacean are analysed, based on catch data collected for the 6 years from 1976 to 1981. Commercial catching of animals either by harpoon…
The Bay of Fundy is a known area of concentration of Phocoena phocoena during the summer months. In this study, 698 females with calves and 5 473 porpoises of other…
(...) In this report we examine the indirect exploitation of harbor porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, by the weir fishery for herring (Clupea harengus) in Charlotte County, New Brunswick, in the lower…
(...) A review of the status of harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in the U.S. waters of the western North Atlantic identified substantial information gaps in our knowledge about this species,…
