The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a small porpoise found only in the northern Gulf of California. This species may have been subject to high levels of mortality in the gill-net…
Harbor porpoise bycatch estimates for federally managed gillnet fisheries in northwestern Atlantic US waters were calculated for a nine-year period (1999–2007) using two new methods, and the results were compared…
The most serious danger to dolphins and porpoises around the world is the threat from various forms of gill-net fishing. One potential way to reduce the number of deaths of…
We estimated the potential intrinsic rate of increase (r) of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) population in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine using empirical data on reproductive…
This report summarises the available knowledge on odontocete (toothed whale) distribution, behaviour, migration and threats and was compiled for the Bonn Secretariat of CMS.
This field guide is designed to permit observers to identify the cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) they see in the waters of the eastern North Pacific, including the Gulf of…
The geographical variation of the colour types of the species indicates three local stocks in the northwestern North Pacific and western Bering Sea (WNP/BS), off the Pacific coast of Japan…
Little work has been done on the smaller cetaceans of Tierra del Fuego. Data on strandings and new specimens for the following 14 species is presented: Lagenorhynchus australis, Cephalorhynchus commersonii,…
The cochito (Phocoena sinus), the smallest member of its genus, is known from 21 confirmed records from the upper Gulf of California and is probably found only in that area.…
