Geographical differences in organochlorine contaminants in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the western North Atlantic
Westgate, A.J.; Tolley, K.A.
Marine Ecology Progress Series (1999)
Organochlorine contaminants, including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlorinated bornanes (CHBs), dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethanes (DDTs), chlordanes (CHLORs), hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and, chlorobenzenes (CBZs) were quantified in 188 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) killed in commercial fisheries…

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…
A review of organochlorine and metal pollutants in marine mammals from Central and South America
Borrell, A.; Aguilar, A.
Journal of Cetacean Research and Management (1999)
Published data on pollutants found in marine mammals from Central and South America are limited. Few species have been studied (18) and sample sizes are usually too small to allow…
Investigating potential associations between chronic exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and infectious disease mortality in harbour porpoises from England and Wales
Jepson, Paul D.; Bennett, Peter M.; Allchin, Colin R.; Law, Robin J.; Kuiken, Thijs; Baker, John R.; Rogan, Emer; Kirkwood, James K.
Science of the Total Environment (1999)
Bioaccumulation of immunosuppressive organochlorines like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may pose a threat to the health and viability of cetacean populations. To investigate possible associations between chronic exposure to PCBs and…

Organochlorines in Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) from Hong Kong
Parsons, E. C. M.; Chan, H. M.
The Marine Biology of the South China Sea (1998)
Blubber samples from eight Indo-Pacific hump-backed dolphins (Sousa chinensis) and eleven finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) stranded between 1993 and 1996, in Hong Kong waters, were collected for organochlorine analysis. Levels…
