Zhou, K.; Pilleri, G.; Li, Y.
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…
Using habitat models to identify suitable sites for marine protected areas for harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)
Embling, Clare B.; Gillibrand, Phil A.; Gordon, Jonathan; Shrimpton, Juliet; Stevick, Peter T.; Hammond, Philip S.
Biological Conservation (2010)
The harbour porpoise is a highly mobile species and thus represents a considerable challenge in the context of using marine protected areas (MPAs) for conservation. The shelf waters off the…
Spatio-temporal associations between harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena and specific fisheries in the German Bight
Herr, Helena; Fock, Heino O.; Siebert, Ursula
Biological Conservation (2009)
Interactions between cetaceans and fisheries are a major concern of cetacean conservation and fisheries management, as by-catch and resource competition occur as a result. To assess potential interaction between porpoises…

Mikkelsen, Lonnie; Rigét, Frank F.; Kyhn, Line A.; Sveegaard, Signe; Dietz, Rune; Tougaard, Jakob; Carlström, Julia A. K.; Carlén, Ida; Koblitz, Jens C.; Teilmann, Jonas
PLOS ONE (2016)
Cetacean monitoring is essential in determining the status of a population. Different monitoring methods should reflect the real trends in abundance and patterns in distribution, and results should therefore ideally…
Monitoring the movements of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) with satellite telemetry
Read, A. J.; Westgate, A. J.
Marine Biology (1997)
The movements of nine harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena (L.), in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine were tracked using satellite telemetry. Transmitters were attached to the porpoises in…
