Of 722 cetaceans captured mostly in multi-filament gillnets and landed at Cerro Azul, central Peru, in 87 days during January–August 1994, 82.7% were dusky dolphin Lagenorhynchus obscurus, 12.6% Burmeister's porpoise…

EXTINCTION IS IMMINENT CIRVA reviewed the 2015 population survey results, which showed that only about 60 vaquitas remained at the beginning of the emergency 2-year partial gillnet ban. CIRVA also…
In the last 60 years, incidental entanglement in fishing gears (so called by-catch) became the main cause of mortality worldwide for small cetaceans and is pushing several populations and species…
There are five basic types of inshore fishing off Argentinian Tierra del Fuego: coastal fishing with gillnets or lines along the northeastern coasts; beach seining, use of wicker pots, and…
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…
Data from surveys conducted between 1989 and 1992 were used to examine fishing mortality and struck-and-lost rates in three major operating grounds of the Japanese Dall's porpoise harpoon fishery. The…
Dall's porpoises, Phocoenoides dalli, were often incidentally caught in the Japanese salmon gillnet fishery in the North Pacific. In order to investigate the reasons for entanglement, their auditory characteristics and…
Information on small cetacean mortality in Peruvian fisheries is reviewed for the 1990-1993 period, i.e. after the national ban on cetacean exploitation. Most ports along the Peruvian coast were sampled…
In 1988 and 1989 we monitored the fish terminal of Pucusana, central Peru, for 259 and 233 days respectively, and observed 1,613 and 1,292 small cetaceans landed. The estimated total…
Small cetaceans and some great whales become entangled and die in gillnets in a variety of fisheries in the northeastern Indtan Ocean. Information on operational details, present status and future…
