Reduction of harbour porpoise bycatch by use of high-density iron-oxide (IO) gillnets was tested in sea trials in the Danish North Sea bottom set gillnet fishery in September–October 2000. The…

Seventy-eight harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, (33 females, 45 males) were obtained from the summer (June-September) cod fishery incidental-by-catch in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and examined for the presence of…
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides asiaeorientalis) is endemic to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China. It is the only freshwater population of porpoises in the…
To reduce incidental catch of cetaceans in gillnets, two forms of acoustic modifications are reviewed here; one to make gillnets more reflective to cetacean sonar, and another using active sound…
Preliminary notes on the occurrence and exploitation of smaller Cetacea in Greenland were presented in a previous paper (Kapel, 1975). In the present paper a more detailed presentation of the…
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…
This report provides harbor porpoise bycatch estimates for 1994 and 1995. The analysis required adjusting for changes in data collection methods that went into effect in June 1994, in which…
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is the only cetacean incidentally caught in significant numbers by the Danish fishing fleet and there is some concern that the populations in Danish waters…
A total of 139 types of passive fishing gear are used in Chinese marine fisheries. Finless porpoises, false killer whales, bottlenose dolphins and common dolphins are known to be caught…
In July 1990, an observer program was established to collect data on the bycatch of the drift and set gillnet fisheries operating off the coast of California. These data are…
