In order to monitor the diving behavior of free-ranging cetaceans, microdataloggers, with pre-programmed release mechanisms, were attached to the dorsal fins of two female harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in Funka…
(...) Each year between February and May, immature harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) strand along the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States (Haley and Read 1993). Occasionally, harbor porpoises strand alive,…
The ability of a finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) to discriminate the material and size of a target by echolocation was investigated. The porpoise was required to choose a standard target…
Bycatch of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) occurs in most gillnet fisheries throughout the continental shelf area in the Northern Hemisphere. A few behavioural studies have attempted to ascertain the detection…
From an intensive review of historical records and the examination of stranded cetaceans it was determined that 16 cetacean species have been reported from Hong Kong, including resident populations of…
The movements of nine harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena (L.), in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine were tracked using satellite telemetry. Transmitters were attached to the porpoises in…
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…
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…
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…
