Concern about the conservation and management of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) populations, which have experienced relatively large incidental fishery kills in localised areas throughout their range, has prompted research to…
Scientific Reports (2016)
Little is known about the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in the genome of Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) (YFP) or other cetaceans. In this study, a high quality YFP…
Mitochondrial DNA Part A (2016)
Genetic population structure of geographically isolated endangered Black Sea harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena relicta) is little known in Turkish waters, especially in the Turkish Straits System (TSS- Marmara Sea, Bosphorus…
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences (1997)
The population structure of harbour porpoises from British and adjacent waters was studied by examining variability in a 200 bp (base pair) section of the control region of mitochondrial DNA…

Contact zones between marine ecotypes are of interest for understanding how key pelagic predators may react to climate change. We analysed the fine scale genetic structure and morphological variation in…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1996)
The seasonal distribution of harbour porpoises in US Atlantic waters is explored by examining aerial sightings made by the CeTAP survey between 1978 and 1988. Sightings rates were very low…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1994)
Dolphins of several species are killed incidentally in driftnet fisheries on the high seas in the North Pacific. Information on stock identity, necessary for assessment and management of the dolphin…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1984)
The distribution of the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena (L.). is re-examined using a compilation of all available recent information. Three isolated major populations of this species exist: in the North…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1996)
Harbour porpoises are widely distributed in the seas around Denmark. Total abundance in Danish waters is estimated as approximately 100,000 animals. Population density varies considerably by area. There are probably…
Report of the International Whaling Commission (1996)
This paper summarises current knowledge of the three populations of harbour porpoises in US and Canadian Atlantic waters. During the summer, the populations are centred in the Gulf of Maine/Bay…
