Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (1999)
Data on bycatch of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L.) in the commercial Danish set-net fisheries were sampled from 5,591km nets in the period 1992 to 1998 using independent observers. A…

A review of organochlorine and metal pollutants in marine mammals from Central and South America
Borrell, A.; Aguilar, A.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (1999)
Published data on pollutants found in marine mammals from Central and South America are limited. Few species have been studied (18) and sample sizes are usually too small to allow…
Risk factors affecting the vaquita (Phocoena sinus)
Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo; Taylor, Barbara L.
Marine Mammal Sci (1999)
Despite the vaquita being commonly cited as one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world, there is still disagreement over which factors put the species at greatest risk…
Genetic population structure of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the North Sea and Norwegian waters
Tolley, K. A.; Rosel, P. E.; Walton, M.; Bjorge, A.; Oien, N.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (1999)
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is subject to a high rate of incidental mortality in fisheries worldwide and, in some areas, these rates are sufficiently high to warrant concern over…
Investigating potential associations between chronic exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and infectious disease mortality in harbour porpoises from England and Wales
Jepson, Paul D.; Bennett, Peter M.; Allchin, Colin R.; Law, Robin J.; Kuiken, Thijs; Baker, John R.; Rogan, Emer; Kirkwood, James K.
Science of The Total Environment (1999)
Bioaccumulation of immunosuppressive organochlorines like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may pose a threat to the health and viability of cetacean populations. To investigate possible associations between chronic exposure to PCBs and…
A review of virus infections of cetaceans and the potential impact of morbilliviruses, poxviruses and papillomaviruses on host population dynamics
Van Bressem, M. F.; Van Waerebeek, K.; Raga, J. A.
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms (1999)
Viruses belonging to 9 families have been detected in cetaceans. We critically review the clinical features, pathology and epidemiology of the diseases they cause. Cetacean morbillivirus (family Paramyxoviridae) induces a…

Dall’s porpoise reactions to tagging attempts using a remotely-deployed suction-cup tag
Hanson, M. Bradley; Baird, Robin W.
Marine Technology Society Journal (1998)
Remotely-deployable non-invasive (suction-cup attached) tags to record underwater behavior of cetaceans have recently been developed. How useful these tags are for applications on a broad range of species has yet…
