The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the North Atlantic: Variability in habitat use, trophic ecology and contaminant exposure

Bjørge, Arne
NAMMCOSP (2003)

Harbour porpoises inhabit coastal waters, in habitats that are characterized by high diversity and complexity in terms of their bathymetry, substrate, fish communities and point sources of contaminants. The complexity…

Habitat characteristics of the shelf distribution of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the waters around the Faroe Islands during summer

Skov, Henrik; Durinck, Jan; Bloch, Dorete
NAMMCOSP (2003)

Observations from a large number of seabird line-transect surveys conducted in Faroese waters are used to derive some general conclusions regarding the distribution of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the…

Predictions from harbor porpoise habitat association models are confirmed by long-term passive acoustic monitoring

Brookes, Kate L.; Bailey, Helen; Thompson, Paul M.
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2013)

Survey based habitat association models provide good spatial coverage, but only a snapshot in time of a species' occurrence in a particular area. A habitat association model for harbor porpoises…

Eat and be eaten – Porpoise diet studies

Leopold, Maarten Frederik
Doctoral Thesis - Wageningen University (2015)

1. Diet studies of marine mammals typically summarise prey composition across all individuals studied. Variation in individual diets is usually ignored, but may be more than just “noise” around an…

High-density areas for harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) identified by satellite tracking

Sveegaard, Signe; Teilmann, Jonas; Tougaard, Jakob; Dietz, Rune; Mouritsen, Kim N.; Desportes, Geneviève; Siebert, Ursula
Marine Mammal Science (2010)

The population status of harbor porpoises has been of concern for several years, and the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) has been suggested as a method to protect the…

Do man-made structures and water depth affect the diel rhythms in click recordings of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)?

Brandt, Miriam J.; Hansen, Sophie; Diederichs, Ansgar; Nehls, Georg
Mar Mam Sci (2014)

The construction of industrial offshore structures may lead to colonization by a variety of marine organisms resulting in locally enhanced biodiversity and biomass, which may then affect the habitat use…

Yangtze finless porpoises along the main channel of Poyang Lake, China: Implications for conservation

Dong, Lijun; Wang, Ding; Wang, Kexiong; li, Songhai; Mei, Zhigang; Wang, Shiyong; Akamatsu, Tomonari; Kimura, Satoko
Mar Mam Sci (2014)

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China and flows into the Yangtze River. It is a traditional habitat for the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise, which has not been…

Diurnal and tidal variations in habitat use of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in southwest Britain

Goodwin, Lissa
Aquatic Mammals (2008)

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…

Occurrence, behavior and feeding habits of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) at Pajaro Dunes, Monterey Bay, California

Sekiguchi, K.
Aquatic Mammals (1995)

From September 1984 to November 1985, sightings of 1594 groups of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were made from a high vantage point at Pajaro Dunes, Monterey Bay, California, in a…

Observations on the distribution and behavior of Dall’s porpoise (Phocoenoides dalli) in Monterey Bay, California

Jefferson, T.
Aquatic Mammals (1991)

A study of Dall's porpoise distribution and behaviour between September 1986 and February 1989 confirmed the year-round presence of these animals in Monterey Bay, California. Dall's porpoises in the Bay…
