A study of Dall's porpoise distribution and behaviour between September 1986 and February 1989 confirmed the year-round presence of these animals in Monterey Bay, California. Dall's porpoises in the Bay…
(...)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…
Dorsal fin photographs of Dall's porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli, were taken in northern Puget Sound, Washington in order to assess the feasibility of using photo-identification techniques in studies of this species.…
Examination of 95 Dall's porpoise specimens incidentally caught in gill nets, and 4 collected as beach strandings, indicate significant sexual dimorphism and developmental variation in several aspects of external morphology…

(...) Four newborn Dall’s porpoises were examined by the author during July of 1987 and 1988. All had muted color patterns, and some evidence of umbilical remnants, fetal folds, and…
Persistent organochlorines (PCBs and p,p′-DDE) in the bodies of dalli- and truei-type Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the Bering Sea and the northwestern North Pacific were used as chemical tracers…
Results of nine whale sighting cruises in the Japanese coastal waters in 1983 through 1986 and some additional cruises provided following conclusion. Dall's porpoises inhabit waters below 24°C, but the…
(...) Order Cetacea, Suborder Odontoceti, Family Phocoenidae. The family contains four extant genera: Phocoena, Australophocaena, Neophocaena, and Phocoenoides (Barnes, 1985). Barnes (1984, 1985) has proposed two subfamilies within the Phocoenidae.…
