(...) Gaskin (1984, 1992) suggested that harbor porpoises in the northwestern Atlantic are partitioned into three subpopulations: Bay of Fundy/Gulf of Maine, Eastern Newfoundland, and Gulf of St. Lawrence (see…

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…
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…
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…
A total of 433 skulls of harbor porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, were examined to evaluate geographical variation within the western North Atlantic, using analysis of covariance and discriminant analysis based on…
We used 11 restriction endonucleases to study mtDNA variation in 101 Dall's porpoises Phocoenoides dalli from the Bering Sea and western North Pacific. There was little phylogeographic patterning among the…
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…
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…
At the meeting of the IWC Scientific Committee held in Dublin in May 1995, the special topic addressed by the sub-committee on small cetaceans was the North Atlantic harbour porpoise.…
Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in California are subject to incidental mortality in gillnet fisheries. The status of this population is uncertain. We review information on population structure and conclude that…
