Camphuysen, Kees C. J.; Siemensma, Marije L.
NIOZ Reports (2011)
- This is a conservation plan for the Harbour Porpoise Phocoena phocoena based on the current seasonal occurrence and abundance of porpoises within waters under Dutch jurisdiction. - The conservation…
Environmental drivers of harbour porpoise fine-scale movements
van Beest, Floris M.; Teilmann, Jonas; Dietz, Rune; Galatius, Anders; Mikkelsen, Lonnie; Stalder, Dominique; Sveegaard, Signe; Nabe-Nielsen, Jacob
Marine Biology (2018)
Quantifying intraspecific variation in movement behaviour of marine predators and the underlying environmental drivers is important to inform conservation management of protected species. Here, we provide the first empirical data…

Özsandikçi, Uğur; Gönener, Sedat
Acta Zoologica Bulgarica (2020)
The aim of the present study was to assess the effectiveness of pinger devices on the Black-Sea harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena relicta. The study was carried out in Sinop, Turkey,…
An unusual interaction between bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) and a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Tonay, Arda M.; Dede, Ayhan; Öztürk, Ayaka Amaha
Journal of the Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment (2017)
This short communication reports an observation of unusual non-agonistic interactions between a juvenile harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and a group of bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the Marmara Sea on…

Elliser, Cindy R.; Hessing, Sanne; MacIver, Katrina H.; Webber, Marc A.; Keener, William
Aquatic Mammals (2020)
...This short note documents instances of prey handling and consumption of large fish species along the West Coast of the United States (U.S.), including the Salish Sea (inland waters of…
Agonistic interactions and dominance relationships in three groups of captive odontocetes: Method of assessment and inter-species/group comparison
Serres, Agathe; Hao, Yujiang; Wang, Ding
Aquatic Mammals (2019)
Social group dynamics are known to impact odontocetes’ health and welfare in captivity. Social dominance and agonistic interactions that occur to establish and maintain these relationships might express themselves differently…
High levels of food intake in harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena): Insight into recovery from disturbance
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Helder-Hoek, Lean; Booth, Cormac; Jennings, Nancy; Leopold, Mardik
Aquatic Mammals (2019)
If harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are impaired in their foraging ability because they need to move away from anthropogenic sound sources, their fitness may be reduced. Understanding how much harbor…
Behavioral responses of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) to U.S. Navy 53C sonar signals in noise
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Ainslie, Michael A.; van Kester, Ruby
Aquatic Mammals (2019)
Naval sonar systems produce signals that may affect the behavior of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), and behavioral responses may be influenced by the received signal and by the signal-to-noise ratio…
Behavioral responses of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) to sonar playback sequences of sweeps and tones (3.5-4.1 kHz)
Kastelein, Ronald A.; Helder-Hoek, Lean; Van de Voorde, Shirley; de Winter, Simone; Janssen, Susan; Ainslie, Michael A.
Aquatic Mammals (2018)
Naval sonar signals may affect the behavior of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena). The 53C sonar system produces 1,600 ms sonar signals in the 3.5 to 4.1 kHz band, each consisting…
