Blubber samples from eight Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and eleven finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded between 1993 and 1996, in Hong Kong waters, were collected for organochlorine analysis. Levels…
A series of behavioural surveys were conducted in Hong Kong upon resident populations of Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides). The surveys were carried out from…
(page 121) (...) Miller (1925) and Kellogg (1928) included the true porpoises in the family Delphinidae and did not even grant them subfamily status. However, Slijper (1936) and Fraser and…

Two species of small cetaceans, the Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphin and the finless porpoise, occur year-round in waters of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Research conducted from September 1995 to…
Stranded cetaceans reported from the territorial waters of Hong Kong during the period May 1993 to March 1998 were examined to establish factors that may have contributed to their death.…
The mitochondrial DNA control region of 12 finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) from the Yangtze River, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea, was amplified. Two portions, 317 and 245 base pairs,…
Seven hundred and twenty base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial control region from 73 finless porpoises, Neophocaena phocaenoides, in Chinese waters were sequenced. Thirteen variable sites were determined and 17…
This study provides information on food habits and insights into habitat use of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Hong Kong waters through the analysis of stomach contents of 31 stranded…
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…
