Eighty nine mother-calf Dall's porpoise pairs were sighted in August and September 1982, 1983 and 1985 in the Bering Sea and the western North Pacific (outside the principal range of…
Some growth parameters of the western North Pacific dalli-type Dall's porpoise were estimated from 167 specimens taken with hand-held harpoons on two cruises and compared with data obtained previously from…
The geographical variation of the colour types of the species indicates three local stocks in the northwestern North Pacific and western Bering Sea (WNP/BS), off the Pacific coast of Japan…
Recent climate change has triggered profound reorganization in northeast Atlantic ecosystems, with substantial impact on the distribution of marine assemblages from plankton to fishes. However, assessing the repercussions on apex…
Ecological surveys have indicated that the population of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise (YFP, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) is becoming increasingly small and fragmented, and will be at high risk…
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…
During 1988, 1989 and 1995, 187 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were sampled from the catches off West Greenland during the months of July, August and September. The samples were taken…
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the population genomic markers in addressing ecology, evolution, and conservation issues for their high capacity to access variability across the genome. We isolated…
To clarify population structure of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Japan, a sequence of studies have been conducted: a questionnaire survey and aerial sighting surveys to obtain information on porpoise…
