Clausen, K. T.; Wahlberg, M.; Beedholm, K.; Deruiter, S.; Madsen, P. T.
Bioacoustics (2010)
Sound plays an important role for toothed whales in foraging and communication. However, little is known about acoustic communication in the toothed whale species that only produce narrow band high…
Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the North Atlantic: Biological parameters
Lockyer, Christina
NAMMCOSP (2003)
Biological parameters for harbour porpoises are reviewed throughout their range in the North Atlantic. Most information is based on studies of a combination of directed catches, bycatches and strandings. All…

Pinedo, Maria C.; Barreto, Andre S.; Lammardo, Mauricio P.; Andrade, Ana L. V.; Geracitano, Laura
Aquatic Mammals (2002)
The northernmost records of four cold-water cetacean species in the southwestern Atlantic are presented: the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica), Layard's beaked whale (Mesoplodon layardii), Commerson's dolphin (Cephalorhynchus commersonii), and Peale's…
Development and performance of an automated harbour porpoise click detector
Chappell, O.P.; Leaper, R.; Gordon, J.
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1996)
Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are notoriously difficult to observe and become very difficult to see in moderate or rough sea conditions. Passive acoustic monitoring provides a complementary study method to…

Corcuera, Javier; Monzon, Florencia; Aguilar, Alex; Borrell, Asuncion; Raga, J. Antonio
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1995)
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.…
Field trials of the POD-an acoustic data logger-to monitor harbour porpoise activity in Newport Bay, Pembrokeshire
Pierpoint, Chris; Baines, Mick; Earl, Sarah
(1999)
This report presents results of field trials of the POD, carried out in Pembrokeshire, UK, from August to December 1998. The POD is an acoustic data logger, designed to operate…
An intergeneric hybrid in the family Phocoenidae
Baird, Robin W.; Willis, Pamela M.; Guenther, Tamara J.; Wilson, Paul J.; White, Bradley N.
Canadian Journal of Zoology (1998)
A 60-cm female fetus recovered from a Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) found dead in southern British Columbia was fathered by a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). This is the first report…
Geographical differences in organochlorine contaminants in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the western North Atlantic
Westgate, A.J.; Tolley, K.A.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (1999)
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…
Characteristics of echolocation signals used by a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in a target detection experiment
Teilmann, Jonas; Miller, Lee A.; Kirketerp, Tim; Kastelein, Ronald A.; Madsen, Peter T.; Nielsen, Bjarke K.; Au, Whitlow W. L.
Aquatic Mammals (2002)
The characteristics of echolocation signals used by a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) during a target detection experiment are described. A water-filled steel sphere (either 5.08 or 7.62 cm in diameter)…
