Investigations on Cetacea (1979)
Two species of dolphin inhabit the Changjiang (Yangtze): Lipotes vexillifer MILLER, 1918 (known as Baiji in Chinese) and the Finless porpoise, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis PILLERI and GIHR, 1972. Although quite a…

A pilot study has been carried out in order to obtain information on the observational problems encountered in studying the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the wild. It is concluded…
This paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the marine and estuarine cetacean fauna of Pakistani waters and it is based on the investigation of our own material collected…
Information is communicated on the occurrence of Phoconea spinipinnis off the Uruguayan coast and on the general geographical distribution of this rare species. In contradiction to the observations of ALLEN…
In spite of important differences in shape and appearance, the tongues of Pontoporia blainvillei, Neomeris phocaenoides and Delphinus tropicalis present certain common characteristics. None have papillae resembling, even slightly, those…
Electrocardiographical examinations have been performed on 4 harbour porpoises, Phocaena phocaena (L.) kept in captivity for studies on their hearing capability. Parameters of the ECG are presented and studies are…
Testing the hearing abilities of marine mammals under water is a challenging task. Sample sizes are usually low, thus limiting the ability to generalize findings of susceptibility towards noise influences.…
How an animal receives sound may influence its use of sound. While ‘jaw hearing’ is well supported for odontocetes, work examining how sound is received across the head has been…
During 1988, 1989 and 1995, 187 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were sampled from the catches off West Greenland during the months of July, August and September. The samples were taken…
Data on causes of death for finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) specimens stranded in Hong Kong between 1995 and 2000 were evaluated. We diagnosed several causes of death, including fishing net…
