Marine Ecology Progress Series (2015)
Several studies have shown that pingers mitigate porpoise bycatch and thus pinger use is now mandatory in some fisheries—although the long-term effects of pinger exposure on porpoises have not been…
Habitat-based cetacean density models for the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico

Scientific Reports (2016)
Cetaceans are protected worldwide but vulnerable to incidental harm from an expanding array of human activities at sea. Managing potential hazards to these highly-mobile populations increasingly requires a detailed understanding…

Larsen, F.; Ritzau Eigaard, O.; Tougaard, J.
Fisheries Research (2007)
Reduction of harbour porpoise bycatch by use of high-density iron-oxide (IO) gillnets was tested in sea trials in the Danish North Sea bottom set gillnet fishery in September–October 2000. The…
