Investigations on Cetacea (1993)
Of the 79 recent species of cetaceans 51 have been examined relative to the osteology of the flipper and the scapula and, in addition to this, video-recordings of 13 different…

Since 1987, morbillivirus infections have caused serious disease outbreaks with high mortality among aquatic mammals. Baikal seals (Phoca sibirica) in Siberia were involved in an outbreak caused by a virus…
In 1990, 74 dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) and 10 Burmeister's porpoises (Phocoena spinipinnis) were examined for the presence of hyperpigmented marks and pinhole lesions on the skin (tattoo lesions) at…
We studied development and sexual dimorphism in external measurements of Dall's porpoises (Phocoenoides dalli) from the northwestern North Pacific. Relative rates of increase in the measurements of the head and…
The Japanese squid driftnet fishery began in 1978 in the northwestern Pacific, targeting the flying squid, Ommastrephes bartrami, and was effectively closed in 1992. In response to the rapid growth…
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…
Many passive net fisheries exist along the Pacific coastlines of the USA (California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska), Canada (British Columbia) and the Russian Federation. Some incidental marine mammal mortality occurs…
This paper reviews published and unpublished information on the mortality of cetaceans in gillnets in Mexico, Central America and the wider Caribbean. Data on this incidental mortality are provided from…
Interactions between marine mammals and fisheries were monitored along the southwestern Atlantic coast of Argentina from Bahia Samborombon (Buenos Aires Province) to Tierra del Fuego Island. A variety of fisheries…
Coastal and pelagic fishing activities in the area of Necochea harbour, where high mortality of franciscanas (Pontoporia blainvillei) in gillnets had been previously reported, and at Claromeco, a small gillnet…
