Marine Technology Society Journal (1998)
Remotely-deployable non-invasive (suction-cup attached) tags to record underwater behavior of cetaceans have recently been developed. How useful these tags are for applications on a broad range of species has yet…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1997)
In July 1990, an observer program was established to collect data on the bycatch of the drift and set gillnet fisheries operating off the coast of California. These data are…
Aquatic Mammals (1996)
A comparison of the acoustic waveforms of three different species, Phocoena phocoena, Phocoena sinus and Neophocaena phocaenoides of the sub-family Phocoeninae is made with the species Phocoenoides dalli of the…
Marine Pollution Bulletin (1996)
Levels of organochlorine compounds (PCDD, PCDF, PCB and organochlorine pesticides) were determined in cetaceans collected from the west coast of North America between 1986 and 1989. The samples included gray…
Marine Mammal Sci (1996)
Stomach contents were analyzed from 85 Dall's porpoises, Phocoenoides dalli, taken in the southern Sea of Okhotsk during the summer of 1988. Thirteen species of fish and five species of…
Molecular Ecology (1996)
We used 11 restriction endonucleases to study mtDNA variation in 101 Dall's porpoises Phocoenoides dalli from the Bering Sea and western North Pacific. There was little phylogeographic patterning among the…
Aquatic Mammals (1996)
We examined geographic variation in external measurements of Dall’s porpoises, using 269 sexually mature specimens from throughout their range, excluding coastal waters off North America and the northern Okhotsk Sea.…

(...) Brody (1945) fitted an allometric equation to heart mass (kg) as a function of body mass (kg) for adult mammals ranging in body size from 0.01 to over 100,000…
Marine Mammal Sci (1995)
The structure of the retina, the distribution of ganglion cells, and the extent of the tapetum lucidum were studied in Dall's porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) with the aim of understanding the…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1995)
Dall's porpoise in the western North Pacific Ocean suffered incidental mortality from the gillnets of the Japanese high seas salmon fishery until 1987 and mortality from the high seas squid…
