Demersal gill nets equipped with acoustic alarms reduced harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) by-catch rates by 77% over those without alarms in the Swallowtail area of the lower Bay of Fundy…
Hundreds of harbor porpoise die each year as bycatch in the Gulf of Maine's sink gillnet fishery. In recent years, concern has arisen whether the Gulf of Maine population of…
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a small porpoise found only in the northern Gulf of California. This species may have been subject to high levels of mortality in the gill-net…
Harbour porpoises in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine feed primarily on Atlantic herring. Herring stocks have undergone dramatic fluctuations in abundance over the past three decades due…
The food of the Pacific white-sided dolphin, Lagenorhynchus obliquidens, and Dali's porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli -- collected off California and Washington in 1958-72 -- is compared with food of the northern…
This report summarises the available knowledge on odontocete (toothed whale) distribution, behaviour, migration and threats and was compiled for the Bonn Secretariat of CMS.
This field guide is designed to permit observers to identify the cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) they see in the waters of the eastern North Pacific, including the Gulf of…
The cochito (Phocoena sinus), the smallest member of its genus, is known from 21 confirmed records from the upper Gulf of California and is probably found only in that area.…
This paper reviews current knowledge of Burmeister's porpoise (Phocoena spinipinnis), probably the most abundant coastal small cetacean in southern South American waters and probably existing in two isolated Atlantic and…
