Isobe, Tomohiko; Oshihoi, Tomoko; Hamada, Hiroki; Nakayama, Kei; Yamada, Tadasu K.; Tajima, Yuko; Amano, Masao; Tanabe, Shinsuke
Marine Pollution Bulletin (2011)
Contamination status of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in blubber of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded along the coasts of Seto Inland Sea and Omura Bay…
Using T-PODs to assess variations in the occurrence of coastal bottlenose dolphins and harbour porpoises
Bailey, Helen; Clay, Gemma; Coates, Elizabeth A.; Lusseau, David; Senior, Bridget; Thompson, Paul M.
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems (2010)
1. Assessments of anthropogenic impacts on cetaceans are often constrained by limited data on the extent to which these species use particular areas. 2. Timing porpoise detectors (T-PODs) are autonomous…
Protected species bycatch estimating approaches: Estimating harbor porpoise bycatch in U.S. Northwestern Atlantic gillnet fisheries
Orphanides, C. D.
Journal of Northwest Atlantic Fishery Science (2010)
Harbor porpoise bycatch estimates for federally managed gillnet fisheries in northwestern Atlantic US waters were calculated for a nine-year period (1999–2007) using two new methods, and the results were compared…
Using habitat models to identify suitable sites for marine protected areas for harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Embling, Clare B.; Gillibrand, Phil A.; Gordon, Jonathan; Shrimpton, Juliet; Stevick, Peter T.; Hammond, Philip S.
Biological Conservation (2010)
The harbour porpoise is a highly mobile species and thus represents a considerable challenge in the context of using marine protected areas (MPAs) for conservation. The shelf waters off the…

Journal of Parasitology (2010)
Single individuals of 2 little-known cetacean species, Mesoplodon hectori and Phocoena dioptrica, stranded and died on the coast of Argentina (Buenos Aires and Chubut provinces, respectively) and were studied for…
B-Mode ultrasonographic evaluation of the testis in relation to serum testosterone concentration in male Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) during the breeding season
Wu, H.-P.; Hao, Y.-J.; Li, X.; Zhao, Q.-Z.; Chen, D.-Q.; Kuang, X.-A.; Kou, Z.-B.; Feng, K.-K.; Gong, W.-M.; Wang, D.
Theriogenology (2010)
The use of ultrasonography as a noninvasive tool for assessing the reproductive status of the male Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP; Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) was validated by correlating ultrasonographically determined testicular…

Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2010)
Knowledge about harbour porpoise and bottlenose dolphin occurrence in Cardigan Bay Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Wales, is limited to daylight hours during summer, when conditions are suitable for traditional…
Genetic and historic evidence for climate-driven population fragmentation in a top cetacean predator: The harbour porpoises in European water
Fontaine, M. C.; Tolley, K. A.; Michaux, J. R.; Birkun, A.; Ferreira, M.; Jauniaux, T.; Llavona, A.; Ozturk, B.; Ozturk, A. A.; Ridoux, V.; Rogan, E.; Sequeira, M.; Bouquegneau, J.-M.; Baird, S. J. E.
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (2010)
Recent climate change has triggered profound reorganization in northeast Atlantic ecosystems, with substantial impact on the distribution of marine assemblages from plankton to fishes. However, assessing the repercussions on apex…
