Harbour porpoise echolocation activity within and outside of the FORCE tidal turbine demonstration area in Minas Passage of the upper Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia, has been monitored by up…
Testing two types of acoustic deterrent devices (pingers) to reduce harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena (Cetacea: Phocoenidae), by catch in turbot (Psetta maxima) set gillnet fishery in the Black Sea, Turkey
Bilgin, S.; Köse, Ö.
Cahiers de Biologie Marine (2018)
Field experiments with Aquamark 100 and Aquamark 200 pingers were conducted in the bottom set gill net fishery for turbot in the Black Sea coast between March and June 2012.…
Porpoises the world over: Diversity in behavior and ecology
Teilmann, Jonas; Sveegaard, Signe
Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Odontocetes (2019)
Unlike the large number of species of true dolphins, there are only seven porpoise or phocoenid species, inhabiting different habitats and climate zones. They range from ice-covered water in the…
Crossing boundaries for cetacean conservation: Setting research priorities to guide management of harbour porpoises
IJsseldijk, Lonneke L.; ten Doeschate, Mariel T. I.; Davison, Nicholas J.; Gröne, Andrea; Brownlow, Andrew C.
Marine Policy (2018)
Effective management of natural resources involves a multidisciplinary perspective to address complex issues in data poor-environments. With mobile species that do not conform to human-defined borders a cross-boundary approach is…
Spatial avoidance to experimental increase of intermittent and continuous sound in two captive harbour porpoises
Kok, Annebelle C. M.; Engelberts, J. Pamela; Kastelein, Ronald A.; Helder-Hoek, Lean; Van de Voorde, Shirley; Visser, Fleur; Slabbekoorn, Hans
Environmental Pollution (2018)
The continuing rise in underwater sound levels in the oceans leads to disturbance of marine life. It is thought that one of the main impacts of sound exposure is the…

Environmental Pollution (2020)
Underwater sound plays an important role in some critical life functions of many aquatic animals. Underwater noise pollution has received relatively more attention in ocean systems. However, little attention has…
Using passive acoustic monitoring to investigate the occurrence of cetaceans in a protected marine area in northwest Ireland
Todd, Nicole R. E.; Cronin, Michelle; Luck, Cian; Bennison, Ashley; Jessopp, Mark; Kavanagh, Ailbhe S.
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science (2020)
Under the EU Habitats Directive, cetacean species must be maintained at favourable conservation status in European waters. Whether this is achieved via protected area designation, curtailment of activities such as…
The impact of marine vessels on the presence and behaviour of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in the waters off Berry Head, Brixham (South West England)
Roberts, Laura; Collier, Stuart; Law, Samantha; Gaion, Andrea
Ocean & Coastal Management (2019)
Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) are protected in the UK by the Wildlife and Countryside Act (1981). Understanding the impact of anthropogenic pressures is fundamental for effective protection under this act…
Effects of multiple exposures to pile driving noise on harbor porpoise hearing during simulated flights—An evaluation tool
Schaffeld, Tobias; Schnitzler, Joseph G.; Ruser, Andreas; Woelfing, Benno; Baltzer, Johannes; Siebert, Ursula
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (2020)
Exploitation of renewable energy from offshore wind farms is substantially increasing worldwide. The majority of wind turbines are bottom mounted, causing high levels of impulsive noise during construction. To prevent…
Return of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) to San Francisco Bay
Stern, S. Jonathan; Keener, William; Szczepaniak, Isidore D.; Webber, Marc A.
Aquatic Mammals (2017)
Harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were rarely seen in San Francisco Bay prior to 2008 despite numerous marine mammal search efforts beginning in the 1970s. The species inhabited the bay historically…
