Canadian Journal of Zoology (1975)
Six harbor porpoises captured in herring weirs between September 1973 and September 1974 on the southern coast of New Brunswick were tagged and released. The three smallest animals were given…
Exploitation of coastal fish communities by harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena during nursing periods in German Baltic waters
Pinzone, M.; Michel, L. N.; Gallus, A.; Brundiers, K.; Sturaro, N.; Andreasen, H.; Dähne, M.; Lepoint, G.; Siebert, U.; Das, K.; Benke, H.
Zoology Conference 2017 (2016)
The increased number of juvenile and newborn harbour porpoise strandings along the German Baltic coasts in summer provides evidence for a possible local calving and nursing ground in this area.…
Comparing the performance of C-PODs and SoundTrap/PAMGUARD in detecting the acoustic activity of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Sarnocinska, Joanna; Tougaard, Jakob; Johnson, Mark; Madsen, Peter T.; Wahlberg, Magnus
Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics (2016)
The C-POD logger is a widely used instrument for passive acoustic monitoring of harbor porpoises, but the absence of a continuous recording in this device makes it difficult to verify…
Temporal and spatial trends in stranding records of cetaceans on the Irish coast, 2002–2014
McGovern, Barry; Culloch, Ross M.; O'Connell, Michael; Berrow, Simon
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2016)
Using Irish strandings data collected between 2002 and 2014, seasonal and annual trends in the number of strandings for all strandings identified to species level (N = 1480), and for…
Changes in the occurrence of common dolphins, striped dolphins and harbour porpoises in the English Channel and Bay of Biscay
MacLeod, Colin D.; Brereton, Tom; Martin, Clive
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom (2008)
Regular monitoring of the status of cetacean populations is essential for conservation, policy and management. By using a passenger ferry as a scientific research platform, this study provides information on…
Habitat preferences and interannual variability in occurrence of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena off northwest Scotland
Marubini, F.; Gimona, A.; Evans, P. G. H.; Wright, P. J.; Pierce, G. J.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (2009)
The harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena is the most common cetacean around the British Isles, but knowledge of its ecology, habitat preferences and inter-annual variability is still inadequate. Here, sightings collected…
Asymmetry of the nasofacial skull in toothed whales (Odontoceti)
Huggenberger, S.; Leidenberger, S.; Oelschläger, H. H. A.
Journal of Zoology (2016)
In this study, the nasal asymmetry of odontocetes (toothed whales) was analyzed morphometrically by placing landmarks on photographed nasofacial skulls from 12 different species and genera that belong to four…
Anatomical and histological characteristics of the eyes of a month-old and an adult harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Zweypfenning, Ruud C. V. J.; Spekreijse, Henk
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
Several anatomical characteristics of the cornea, lens, iris and retina of the eyes of a month-old and an adult harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) were investigated by scanning, transmission and light…
Forehead anatomy of Phocoena phocoena and Cephalorhynchus commersonii: 3-dimensional computer reconstructions with emphasis on the nasal diverticula
Amundin, Mats; Cranford, Ted
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
(...) Watkins et al. (1977) and Dudok van Heel (1981) point to similarity in sound output in Cephalorhynchus and Phocoena, and suggest that it may be the result of convergent…
Studies on echolocation of porpoises taken in salmon gillnet fisheries
Hatakeyama, Yoshimi; Soeda, Hideo
Sensory Abilities of Cetaceans (1990)
(...)In the Bering Sea, marine mammals, particularly Dall's porpoises, Phocoenoides dalli, get incidentally entangled in gillnets of the Japanese mothership salmon fishery. The maximum total number of Dall's porpoises to…
