Harbour porpoises are widely distributed in the seas around Denmark. Total abundance in Danish waters is estimated as approximately 100,000 animals. Population density varies considerably by area. There are probably…
Strandings and sightings data of toothed whales entangled in fishing gear are documented for the Southern California Bight from 1975-90. Entanglements involve three fisheries: a nearshore set gillnet fishery; an…
The purpose of this study was to gather base-line life history data on the harbor porpoise. The information presented here describes only those aspects which would affect a census. During…
This paper reviews and summarises published and unpublished information on harbour porpoises in Irish waters and presents results of recent research. Harbour porpoises have been recorded from all Irish coasts…
The available information on the status of populations of three species of dolphins in the Black Sea is reviewed. These populations were subject to a commercial fishery from 1870 to…
Effects of Beaufort sea state heterogeneities on density estimates of harbor porpoises from data collected during 'independent' team line transect sighting surveys are investigated. The surveys were conducted in the…
We present the results of an aerial line transect census of cetaceans along the California coast during March and April 1991. This survey was the first of two aerial surveys…
(...) Studies on the biology and ecology of the species [harbour porpoise] by the University of Guelph, largely sponsored by the National Research Council of Canada, were begun in the…
The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour porpoise occurrence has…
