Amundin, M.; Amundin, B.
Investigations on Cetacea (1974)
A pilot study has been carried out in order to obtain information on the observational problems encountered in studying the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the wild. It is concluded…
The rearing of suckling harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Andersen, S.H.

The rearing of unweaned dolphins has hitherto not been described in literature. In 1973 our laboratory received 2 juvenile harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and we succeeded in rearing them on…
A typical case history of the net-caught harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, from Danish waters

Aquatic Mammals (1974)
The harbour porpoise and all other cetaceans are totally protected in Danish waters, but not in the waters around Greenland and the Faroe Islands. This means that it is forbidden…

Amundin, M.
Aquatic Mammals (1974)
Two harbour porpoises, a male and a female, both around 10 months old, which had to be left alone for periods between bio-acoustical investigations, developed stereotyped motor patterns and signs…

Echolocation: high-frequency component in the click of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena ph. L.)
Møhl, B.; Andersen, S.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (1973)
Besides the already known low‐frequency components of the Phocoena echolocation pulse, a narrow‐band pulse of 0.1‐msec duration, with the main energy between 110 and 150 kHz and a source level…
