NAMMCOSP (2003)
Although the stock relationships among harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the Northwest Atlantic are unknown, it has been postulated that there are 4 local populations: Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine,…
Mitochondrial control region variability of baiji and the Yangtze finless porpoises, two sympatric small cetaceans in the Yangtze river
Yang, Guang; Liu, Shan; Ren, Wenhua; Zhou, Kaiya; Wei, Fuwen
Acta Theriologica (2003)
Baiji Lipotes vexillifer (Miller, 1918) and the Yangtze finless porpoise Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis (Pilleri and Gihr, 1972) are two sympatric small cetaceans inhabiting the middle and lower reaches of the…
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the North Atlantic: Variability in habitat use, trophic ecology and contaminant exposure
Bjørge, Arne
NAMMCOSP (2003)
Harbour porpoises inhabit coastal waters, in habitats that are characterized by high diversity and complexity in terms of their bathymetry, substrate, fish communities and point sources of contaminants. The complexity…
Feeding habits of Dall’s porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) in the subarctic North Pacific and the Bering Sea basin and the impact of predation on mesopelagic micronekton
Ohizumi, Hiroshi; Kuramochi, Toshiaki; Kubodera, Tsunemi; Yoshioka, Motoi; Miyazaki, Nobuyuki
Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers (2003)
We investigated the stomach contents of Dall's porpoises collected in pelagic waters spanning most of their range in the North Pacific and the Bering Sea. Analysis revealed the porpoises fed…
Surface and dive times of finless porpoises in Hong Kong’s coastal waters
Beasley, I.; Jefferson, T. A.;
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)
We studied the surface and dive times of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Hong Kong from three land-based survey sites in winter/spring 2000, to allow the estimation of the trackline…
Growth and reproduction of the finless porpoise in southern China
Jefferson, T. A.; Robertson, K. M.; Wang, J. Y.
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)
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.…
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)…
Acoustic signals from free-ranging finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the waters around Hong Kong
Goold, J. C.; Jefferson, T. A.
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)
Acoustic signals from free-ranging finless porpoises were recorded in the waters around Hong Kong during March 2000. Finless porpoises produced short-duration high-frequency clicks. Signal analysis showed finless porpoise clicks to…
Observations on marine mammals in southern Iran, January 2000
Keijl, Guido O.; van der Have, Tom M.
Zoology in the Middle East (2002)
Observations on the Finless Porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, Humpback Dolphin, Sousa plumbea, and Dugong, Dugong dugon, in the Hara Protected Area, Khouran Straits, are presented. All are on the Red List…
Preliminary analysis of geographic variation in cranial morphometrics of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides)
Jefferson, T. A.
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)
The taxonomy of the finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides), while better-studied than that of many species of small cetaceans, still suffers from some uncertainties and a general lack of data from…
