1) The properties of Finles porpoise oil were studied. 2) Fatty acid composition of Finles porpoise oil was analyzed by gas-liquid chromatograph using a hydrogen ionization detector on a DEGS…
This paper describes the fatty acid components of oils contained in different blubbers of Finless porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides. The sample oils were almost entirely triglycerides, but contained only trace amouts…
(...) This 114 cm male specimen had a small hole in the genital aperture just in between the anus and the penis opening. Investigating with a surgical tool, the examiner…
The early postnatal growth of bottlenose dolphins and finless porpoises was studied using 97 body length records of 61 individuals born in aquariums. The growth rates observed were similar to…
Genetic variability and differentiation of three families containing 12 species of toothed whales mainly from the sea around Japan have been examined by starch-gel electrophoresis at 19 genetic loci encoding…
(...) This document attempts to gather together as much information as is available on the extent of current killings of small cetaceans throughout the world, and also to highlight some…
Of the 79 recent species of cetaceans 51 have been examined relative to the osteology of the flipper and the scapula and, in addition to this, video-recordings of 13 different…

Environmental DNA (eDNA) represents a sensitive and efficient method for noninvasively sampling rare or otherwise hard to monitor taxa, potentially making it a powerful tool for conservation management. Still, this…
The concentration of trace elements (TEs) and their risk to narrow-ridged finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) are still unclear. The present study determined the concentration of typical TEs in liver, kidney,…
