We describe an experiment conducted to assess the impact of the sound generated by an acoustic harassment device (AHD) on the relative abundance and distribution of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)…

To clarify population structure of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Japan, a sequence of studies have been conducted: a questionnaire survey and aerial sighting surveys to obtain information on porpoise…
From 5 March to 1 July, 1999 and 2000, we made six shipboard surveys for finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the Inland Sea, which is believed to be inhabited by…
Concern about the conservation and management of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) populations, which have experienced relatively large incidental fishery kills in localised areas throughout their range, has prompted research to…
Observations on the Finless Porpoise, Neophocaena phocaenoides, Humpback Dolphin, Sousa plumbea, and Dugong, Dugong dugon, in the Hara Protected Area, Khouran Straits, are presented. All are on the Red List…
The status of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) populations in the North Atlantic has raised numerous concerns. Although a number of factors that may be adversely affecting harbour porpoise populations have…
Species Information The harbour porpoise is one of the smallest cetacean species, born at 80-90 cm and only occasionally reaching lengths of close to 2 m. In general, harbour porpoises…
Documented sightings of harbour porpoises in the Mediterranean are rare, although the species is common in the neighbouring North Atlantic and Black Sea. However, in the past 2 decades, 4…
We carried out an aerial survey to estimate the abundance of finless porpoises Neophocaena phocaenoides off the Pacific coast of eastern Japan between Sendai Bay (38°23’N) and the mouth of…
The known geographical distribution (based on ship surveys, aerial surveys, incidental sightings, stranding and bycatch data) and the population genetic structure obtained from mitochondria DNA and nuclear DNA (isozymes and…
