Report of the International Whaling Commission (1990)
Dorsal fin photographs of Dall's porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli, were taken in northern Puget Sound, Washington in order to assess the feasibility of using photo-identification techniques in studies of this species.…
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
Several anatomical characteristics of the cornea, lens, iris and retina of the eyes of a month-old and an adult harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) were investigated by scanning, transmission and light…
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
(...) Watkins et al. (1977) and Dudok van Heel (1981) point to similarity in sound output in Cephalorhynchus and Phocoena, and suggest that it may be the result of convergent…
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
(...)In the Bering Sea, marine mammals, particularly Dall's porpoises, Phocoenoides dalli, get incidentally entangled in gillnets of the Japanese mothership salmon fishery. The maximum total number of Dall's porpoises to…
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)

Report of the International Whaling Commission (1990)
Information on the movement of cetaceans in relation to survey vessels is important for determining if abundance and density estimates from ship-based line transect sighting surveys are biased. A ship-based…
Aquatic Mammals (1990)
(...) Tuberous organs in the integument of the harbour porpoise were briefly described for the first time in connection with other nerve end corpuscles in the tongue (Behrmann, 1988). A…
