Harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena vomerina, in Cook Inlet, Alaska, are managed as part of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) stock. It is not known if this population is distinct from…
Direct evidence for gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) predation and scavenging on harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Bouveroux, Thibaut; Kiszka, Jeremy J.; Heithaus, Michael R.; Jauniaux, Thierry; Pezeril, Sylvain
Mar Mam Sci (2014)
(...) gray seal (Halichoerus grypus) consumption of harbor porpoises—whether predation or scavenging—might reflect a change in gray seal feeding habits in the southern North Sea (Haelters et al. 2012), where…
Do man-made structures and water depth affect the diel rhythms in click recordings of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)?
Brandt, Miriam J.; Hansen, Sophie; Diederichs, Ansgar; Nehls, Georg
Mar Mam Sci (2014)
The construction of industrial offshore structures may lead to colonization by a variety of marine organisms resulting in locally enhanced biodiversity and biomass, which may then affect the habitat use…
Measuring the economic value of increased precision in scientific estimates of marine mammal abundance and bycatch: Harbor porpoise Phocoena phocoena in the northeast U.S. gill-net fishery
Bisack, Kathryn D.; Magnusson, Gisele
North American Journal of Fisheries Management (2014)
Marine mammal stock assessments provide information that is valuable to public sector management and the private fishing sector; however, data are costly to collect. The precautionary approach, which is widely…
Abundance and distribution of harbor porpoises and other cetaceans in the San Juan Channel: Tides and bathymetry
Hayes, K. R. R.
(2014)
The Salish Sea, an area of complex oceanography and bathymetry, supports a number of apex cetacean species. In the last decade, anomalous sightings of cetaceans have become more frequent and…
Fine-scale hydrodynamics influence the spatio-temporal distribution of harbour porpoises at a coastal hotspot
Jones, A. R.; Hosegood, P.; Wynn, R. B.; De Boer, M. N.; Butler-Cowdry, S.; Embling, C. B.
Progress in Oceanography (2014)
The coastal Runnelstone Reef, off southwest Cornwall (UK), is characterised by complex topography and strong tidal flows and is a known high-density site for harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena); a European…
Effect of series of 1 to 2 kHz and 6 to 7 kHz up-sweeps and down-sweeps on the behavior of a harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Kastelein, Ronald; Schop, Jessica; Gransier, Robin; Steen, Nele; Jennings, Nancy
Aquatic Mammals (2014)
To compare the effect of naval sonar up-sweeps and down-sweeps on the behavior of harbor porpoises, a harbor porpoise in a large pool was exposed to simulated low- and mid-frequency…
Beyond parasitism: Hepatic lesions in stranded harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) without trematode (Campula oblonga) infections
Hiemstra, S.; Harkema, L.; Wiersma, L. C. M.; Keesler, R. I.
Veterinary Pathology (2014)
The liver can be an indicator of the health of an individual or of a group, which can be especially important to identify agents that can cause disease in multiple…
