Marine Mammal Sci (2002)
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…

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.…
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…
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…

Ramu, Karri; Kajiwara, Natsuko; Tanabe, Shinsuke; Lam, Paul K.S.; Jefferson, Thomas A.
Marine Pollution Bulletin (2005)
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and organochlorine compounds (OCs) were determined in the blubber, liver and kidney of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded in Hong…
