We studied the growth and reproduction of finless porpoises in southern China, based on 86 specimens collected as strandings or fisheries bycatches in Hong Kong, southern Fujian Province, and Taiwan.…

Quantitative study of behavior should be preceded by precise description and definition of behavior. Therefore, an ethogram, which includes the comprehensive descriptions of the characteristic behavior of a species, should…
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a small and very elusive porpoise that ranges in a limited geographical area in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Despite various efforts to conserve this…
The population of the critically endangered vaquita has decreased alarmingly to less than 100 individuals due to by-catch in legal and illegal fisheries of totoaba, shrimp, shark, and others in…
In the first part of this report we present our results, so far, derived from the application of passive acoustic techniques to study the habitat use of vaquita. In the…
In this paper we report findings on the diet of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in Danish, Swedish and Norwegian waters. The study is based on stomach contents from 247…
The rearing of unweaned dolphins has hitherto not been described in literature. In 1973 our laboratory received 2 juvenile harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and we succeeded in rearing them on…
The harbour porpoise and all other cetaceans are totally protected in Danish waters, but not in the waters around Greenland and the Faroe Islands. This means that it is forbidden…
Two harbour porpoises, a male and a female, both around 10 months old, which had to be left alone for periods between bio-acoustical investigations, developed stereotyped motor patterns and signs…
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the level of persistent chlorinated hydrocarbons and heavy metals in different tissues of four harbour porpoises caught at Danish coasts and…
