The study was based on stomach content of four harbour porpoises bycaught in the coastal fishery in 2004 and 2006, on the Marmara Sea coast. Three fish species, horse mackerel…
Sandeels are known to be negatively affected by climate change in a number of ways. This study investigated whether these changes are affecting the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), a species…
We investigated the feeding ecology and habitat use of 32 harbour porpoises by-caught in 4 localities along the Scandinavian coast from the North Sea to the Barents Sea using time-integrative…
The study was based on stomach content from 42 harbour porpoises bycaught or stranded between April to June in 2002 and 2003, on the Turkish western Black Sea coast. Seven…
In small birds, mass-dependent predation risk (MDPR) is known to make the trade-off between avoiding starvation and avoiding predation dependent on individual mass. This occurs because carrying increased fat reserves…
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is an important top predator and as such an indicator species for its environment. Before the beginning of the 21st century, little data existed on…
Most of the data collected on the reproduction of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) comes from by-caught or stranded animals and is therefore opportunistic in nature. Harbour porpoises kept in a…
With the United Kingdom required to designate Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) under Natura 2000 by 2012, it is important to understand site-specific activity and habitat use in order to…
We examined the stomach contents of 87 finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the Ariake Sound–Tachibana Bay area and Omura Bay in western Kyushu, Japan, between 1987 and 1992. Fish (Gobiidae…
The harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena is the most common cetacean around the British Isles, but knowledge of its ecology, habitat preferences and inter-annual variability is still inadequate. Here, sightings collected…
