Diel echolocation activity of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) around North Sea offshore gas installations
Todd, V. L. G.; Pearse, W. D.; Tregenza, N. C.; Lepper, P. A.; Todd, I. B.
ICES Journal of Marine Science (2009)
Echolocation clicks of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were detected with T-PODs, autonomous, passive, acoustic-monitoring devices, deployed from an offshore-exploration-drilling-rig and gas-production-platform complex in the Dogger Bank region of the North…
Sexual dimorphism of Dall’s porpoise and harbor porpoise skulls
Frandsen, Marie Schou; Galatius, Anders
Mammalian Biology - Zeitschrift für Säugetierkunde (2013)
To evaluate and quantify sexual dimorphism of skull shape and assess the ontogenetic background for differences, samples of 134 harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and 85 Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) were…
Noise mitigation during pile driving efficiently reduces disturbance of marine mammals
Nehls, Georg; Rose, Armin; Diederichs, Ansgar; Bellmann, Michael; Pehlke, Hendrik
Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2016)
Acoustic monitoring of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena L., 1758) indicated a strongly reduced disturbance by noise emitted by pile driving for offshore wind turbine foundations insulated by a big bubble…
Predictions from harbor porpoise habitat association models are confirmed by long-term passive acoustic monitoring
Brookes, Kate L.; Bailey, Helen; Thompson, Paul M.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2013)
Survey based habitat association models provide good spatial coverage, but only a snapshot in time of a species' occurrence in a particular area. A habitat association model for harbor porpoises…

Orr, R. T.
Journal of Mammalogy (1937)
On March 9, 1937, a harbor porpoise (Phocaena phocoena) that had been found dead the previous day on Rockaway Beach, San Mateo County, California, was brought to the Department of…

Contributions to the natural history of the cetaceans, a review of the family Delphinidae
True, F. W.
Bulletin - United States National Museum (1889)
(Phocoenid-related excerpts) (...) NEOMERIS Gray This genus appears to have but one character to distinguish it from Phocaena, namely, the absence of a dorsal fin. I was unable to discover…

The effect of signal duration on the underwater detection thresholds of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) for single frequency-modulated tonal signals between 0.25 and 160 kHz
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Hoek, Lean; de Jong, Christ A. F.; Wensveen, Paul J.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2010)
The underwater hearing sensitivity of a young male harbor porpoise for tonal signals of various signal durations was quantified by using a behavioral psychophysical technique. The animal was trained to…
