Marine Mammal Sci (1998)
In order to monitor the diving behavior of free-ranging cetaceans, microdataloggers, with pre-programmed release mechanisms, were attached to the dorsal fins of two female harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in Funka…
An interaction between Pacific white-sided dolphins and a neonatal harbor porpoise
Baird, R. W.
Mammalia (1998)
(...) Inter-specific behavioral interactions in the order Cetacea are diverse and often complex, including predation (e.g. Jefferson el al. 1991), "harassment" (Shane 1995 ; Shelden et al. 1995; Palacios and…
Stenurus minor (Metastrongyloidea: Pseudaliidae) infections of the cranial sinuses of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena
Faulkner, Jacqueline; Measures, Lena N.; Whoriskey, Fred G.
Canadian Journal of Zoology (1998)
Seventy-eight harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena (33 females, 45 males), were obtained in summer (June-September) as incidental by-catch from the cod fishery in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and examined for…
Marine mammal sensory systems
Wartzok, D.; Ketten, D. R.
Biology of Marine Mammals (1999)
(...) In this chapter, we discuss marine mammal audition, vision, chemoreception, tactile sensation, and magnetic detection. We begin with an overview of the basic aspects of sensory receptor systems, and…

Trippel, Edward A.; Strong, Michael B.; Terhune, John M.; Conway, Jeremy D.
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (1999)
Demersal gill nets equipped with acoustic alarms reduced harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) by-catch rates by 77% over those without alarms in the Swallowtail area of the lower Bay of Fundy…

This report presents results of field trials of the POD, carried out in Pembrokeshire, UK, from August to December 1998. The POD is an acoustic data logger, designed to operate…
Investigating potential associations between chronic exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and infectious disease mortality in harbour porpoises from England and Wales
Jepson, Paul D.; Bennett, Peter M.; Allchin, Colin R.; Law, Robin J.; Kuiken, Thijs; Baker, John R.; Rogan, Emer; Kirkwood, James K.
Science of the Total Environment (1999)
Bioaccumulation of immunosuppressive organochlorines like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may pose a threat to the health and viability of cetacean populations. To investigate possible associations between chronic exposure to PCBs and…
Geographical differences in organochlorine contaminants in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the western North Atlantic
Westgate, A.J.; Tolley, K.A.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (1999)
Organochlorine contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated bornanes (CHBs), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), chlordanes (CHLORs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and, chlorobenzenes (CBZs) were quantified in 188 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) killed in commercial fisheries…
