Lehnert, K.; Seibel, H.; Hasselmeier, I.; Wohlsein, P.; Iversen, M.; Nielsen, N. H.; Heide-Jørgensen, M. P.; Prenger-Berninghoff, E.; Siebert, U.
Polar Biology (2013)
Knowledge about parasitism in harbour porpoises and their health status around Greenland is scarce. This study provides knowledge about the poorly studied cetacean in its rapidly changing environment. Parasites and…

Park, Kyum-Joon; An, Yong-Rock; Lee, Young-Ran; Park, Ji-Eun; Moon, Dae-Yeon; Choi, Seok-Gwan
Korean Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2011)
We investigated the stomach contents of finless porpoises collected in the Yellow Sea. Prey organisms in the stomachs of 109 finless porpoises were identified as 11 species of fish, 8…

Journal of Mammalogy (2008)
We examined the stomach contents of 87 finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the Ariake Sound–Tachibana Bay area and Omura Bay in western Kyushu, Japan, between 1987 and 1992. Fish (Gobiidae…
Passive acoustic assesment of vaquita
Jaramillo-Legorreta, Armando M.; Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo
Scientific Committee Meeting Documents (2008)
(...) During April 1997 the acoustic detector was successfully used to detect vaquitas for the first time. On that occasion we surveyed on a fixed location, aboard an outboard motor…
Negative long term effects on harbour porpoises from a large scale offshore wind farm in the Baltic – evidence of slow recovery
Teilmann, Jonas; Carstensen, Jacob
Environmental Research Letters (2012)
Offshore wind farms constitute a new and fast growing industry all over the world. This study investigates the long term impact on harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, for more than 10…
Spatial and temporal impact of pingers on porpoises
Carlström, Julia; Berggren, Per; Tregenza, Nick J. C.
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2009)
Bycatches are considered the most serious threat to harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and other small cetaceans worldwide. Pingers are used to reduce bycatch levels, but may also deter porpoises from…
Effects of noise and by-catch on a Danish harbour porpoise population
Nabe-Nielsen, Jacob; Sibly, Richard M.; Tougaard, Jakob; Teilmann, Jonas; Sveegaard, Signe
Ecological Modelling (2014)
Ships and wind turbines generate noise, which can have a negative impact on marine mammal populations by scaring animals away. Effective modelling of how this affects the populations has to…

Anales del Instituto de la Patagonia (2010)
(...) In this paper we present results on diversity, local distribution and group composition of cetacean species along inshore waters of the fjord Puyuhuapi and Channels Jacaf and Moraleda (between…
