Stranded harbour porpoises were analysed to investigate differences in stranding patterns along the North and Baltic Sea coasts of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. A total of 1,015 stranded or bycaught harbour porpoises…
The distribution and relative abundance of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L.) in the southern outer Moray Firth, NE Scotland
Whaley, A. R.
Honour's Thesis - University of London (2004)
Throughout its range, the distribution of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena L.) has contracted significantly in the last century, particularly in the North Sea. Reasons for this decline have been…

Santos, M. B.; Pierce, G. J.; Learmonth, J. A.; Reid, R. J.; Ross, H. M.; Patterson, I. A. P.; Reid, D. G.; Beare, D.
Marine Mammal Sci (2004)
Interannual, seasonal, and regional variation in the diet of porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, in Scottish (UK) waters was studied using stomach contents of animals stranded between 1992 and 2003. Most samples…
Echolocation behavior of harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena around chemically enhanced gill nets
Cox, T. M.; Read, A. J.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2004)
The echolocation behavior of harbor porpoises Phocoena phocoena around gillnets was monitored to test their response to chemically (BaSO4) enhanced gill nets, designed to be more acoustically reflective than commercial…
Co-variation in the probabilities of sighting harbor porpoises and bottlenose dolphins
Thompson, Paul; White, Sam; Dickson, Ellie
Marine Mammal Sci (2004)
(...) In this study we used data collected from commercial dolphin-watching trips to determine whether there was any relationship between the probabilities of sighting bottlenose dolphins and harbor porpoises. Surveys…

Diel variation in echolocation behavior of wild harbor porpoises
Carlstrom, Julia
Marine Mammal Science (2005)
The echolocation rate and behavior of wild harbor porpoises were studied using a harbor porpoise click detector (POD) deployed close to the bottom at 40 m depth in Scottish waters,…
