Some odontocetes and bats vary both click intensity and receiver sensitivity during echolocation, depending on target range. It is not known how this so-called automatic gain control is regulated by…
The modulation rate transfer function of a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Linnenschmidt, Meike; Wahlberg, Magnus; Damsgaard Hansen, Janni
Journal of Comparative Physiology A (2012)
During echolocation, toothed whales produce ultrasonic clicks at extremely rapid rates and listen for the returning echoes. The auditory brainstem response (ABR) duration was evaluated in terms of latency between…
Mercury contamination of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena and other cetaceans from the North Sea and the Kattegat
Joiris, C. R.; Holsbeek, L.; Bouquegneau, JM.; Bossicart, M.
Water, Air, and Soil Pollution (1991)
Total Hg levels were determined in 17 harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena collected in the North Sea and the Kattegat (muscle, liver and kidney), as well as in a sperm whale…
A comparison of aerial, shipboard, and land-based survey methodology for the harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena
Kraus, S. D.; Gilbert, J. R.; Prescott, J. H.
Fishery Bulletin (1983)
(...) A review of the status of harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in the U.S. waters of the western North Atlantic identified substantial information gaps in our knowledge about this species,…
A decline in the abundance of harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in nearshore waters off California, 1986-93
Forney, K. A.
Fishery Bulletin (1995)
(...) Harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, have been caught incidentally in set gill nets off the central California coast since at least 1958 (Norris and Prescott, 1961). The annual mortality of…
Abundance of harbour porpoise and other cetaceans in the North Sea and adjacent waters
Hammond, P.S.; Berggren, P.; Benke, H.; Borchers, D.L.; Collet, A.; Heide-Jørgensen, M.P.; Heimlich, S.; Hiby, A.R.; Leopold, M.F.; Øien, N.
Journal of Applied Ecology (2002)
1. The status of small cetaceans in the North Sea and adjacent waters has been of concern for many years. Shipboard and aerial line transect surveys were conducted to provide…
Odontocetes of the Southern Ocean Sanctuary
Van Waerebeek, K.; Leaper, R.; Baker, A. N.; Papastavrou, V.; Thiele, D.; Findlay, K.; Donovan, G.; Ensor, P.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (2010)
Twenty-eight odontocete species were identified as occupying sub-Antarctic and Antarctic habitat covered by the 1994 IWC-established Southern Ocean Sanctuary. Toothed whales evidently play an important part in the Antarctic polar…
Fort Richardson ordnance detonations and the harbor porpoise: A case study in marine mammal bioacoustics
Heenehan, H.
Honours Thesis - University of Conneticut (2009)
Hearing is extremely important for cetaceans because it is their “principal sense” (Weilgart, 2007) thus the harbor porpoise and other marine animals are highly dependent on sound for survival. This…
Study of the cranial sinus nematode, Stenurus minor (Metastrongyloidea), in the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena
Faulkner, J.
Master's Thesis - McGill University (1995)
Seventy-eight harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, (33 females, 45 males) were obtained from the summer (June-September) cod fishery incidental-by-catch in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and examined for the presence of…
Report on vaquita rate of change between 2011-2014 using passive acoustic data by the expert panel on spatial models
Jaramillo-Legorreta, Armando; Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo; VerHoef, Jay; Moore, Jeff; Thomas, Len; Barlow, Jay; Gerrodette, Tim; Taylor, Barbara
Scientific Committee Meeting Documents (2015)
The Expert Panel on Vaquita Acoustic Monitoring had its second meeting on April 28, 2015 to analyze the first four seasons (2011-2014) of the acoustic monitoring program. Results indicate an…
