Detailed knowledge on habitat use by marine mammals is critical for understanding their ecological role and for adequate management. Here, we assess the habitat use patterns of thirteen species of…
Levels of polychlorinated biphenyls are still associated with toxic effects in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) despite having fallen below proposed toxicity thresholds

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, persistent, and lipophilic chemical compounds that accumulate to high levels in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and other cetaceans. It is important to monitor PCBs in…
Harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) reaction to a 3D seismic airgun survey in the North Sea
Sarnocińska, Joanna; Teilmann, Jonas; Balle, Jeppe Dalgaard; van Beest, Floris M.; Delefosse, Matthieu; Tougaard, Jakob
Frontiers in Marine Science (2020)
The most common cetacean in the North Sea is the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Underwater noise is increasingly recognized as a source of impact on the marine environment and seismic…
Modelling fine-scale distribution and relative abundance of harbour porpoises in the Southern Bight of the North Sea using platform-of-opportunity data
Bouveroux, Thibaut; Waggitt, James J.; Belhadjer, Anissa; Cazenave, Pierre W.; Evans, Peter G.H.; Kiszka, Jeremy J.
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2020)
Over the last 25 years, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) has made a significant return to the Southern Bight of the North Sea and the English Channel due to a…
Effects of multiple exposures to pile driving noise on harbor porpoise hearing during simulated flights—An evaluation tool
