The numbers of North Atlantic harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) within the Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine were considered to be declining as a consequence of bycatch in the sink gillnet…
Boat and shore-based surveys were conducted from June to August 1991 and June to October 1992 to determine harbor porpoise distribution, density, abundance, and habitat use off the northern San…
Shipboard surveys were conducted in the summer of 1991 to estimate the abundance of harbor porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, in the northern Gulf of Maine and lower Bay of Fundy. The…
Specimens of harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, from strandings and bycatches in fisheries around the British Isles between 1985 and September 1994 have been examined. Full autopsies were undertaken on most…
Little is known about the biology or status of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in British Columbia (BC), Canada. In this study, all available records of stranded and incidentally caught…
Results from experiments designed to test the robustness and reliability of shipboard line transect methods for estimating harbor porpoise densities are presented. These experiments were conducted in the western Bay…
Specimens of harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, from both strandings and bycatch in fisheries around the United Kingdom between 1985 and 1994 have been examined. Full autopsies were undertaken on most…
Previous double team experiments testing line transect methodology for harbor porpoise indicated that a relatively small proportion of the sightings were actually seen by both teams. Results of an additional…
Blood chemistry values were measured from 31 harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) released from herring weirs in the Bay of Fundy, Canada. Sodium, phosphorus, calcium, chloride, magnesium, total protein, albumin, globulin,…
