Jones, A. R.; Hosegood, P.; Wynn, R. B.; De Boer, M. N.; Butler-Cowdry, S.; Embling, C. B.
Progress in Oceanography (2014)
The coastal Runnelstone Reef, off southwest Cornwall (UK), is characterised by complex topography and strong tidal flows and is a known high-density site for harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena); a European…
The effect of acoustic harassment devices on harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the Bay of Fundy, Canada
Johnston, Dave W.
Biological Conservation (2002)
Many salmon aquaculture sites in the Bay of Fundy employ acoustic harassment devices (AHDs) to deter seals from approaching fish pens. These devices may also exclude harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena)…
Negative long term effects on harbour porpoises from a large scale offshore wind farm in the Baltic – evidence of slow recovery
Teilmann, Jonas; Carstensen, Jacob
Environmental Research Letters (2012)
Offshore wind farms constitute a new and fast growing industry all over the world. This study investigates the long term impact on harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, for more than 10…

Jefferson, T. A.; Braulik, G. T.
IBI Reports (1999)
Two species of small cetaceans, the Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphin and the finless porpoise, occur year-round in waters of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Research conducted from September 1995 to…

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…
