Current understanding of the status of small cetacean populations in the Black Sea
Smith, T. D.
FAO Fisheries Series (1982)
A fishery using guns and nets for the common dolphin, Delphinus delphis, Azov dolphin, Phocoena phocoena, and bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus, in the Black and Azov Seas has been pursued…
Change in occurrence of the harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, in Danish waters as illustrated by catch statistics from 1834 to 1970
Andersen, S. H.
FAO Fisheries Series (1982)
During 24 seasons (November, December and January) from 1834 to 1892, 27 992 harbour porpoises, Phocoena phocoena, were taken in the Strait of Lille Baelt, Denmark with a mean annual…
Potential rates of increase of a harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) population subjected to incidental mortality in commercial fisheries
Woodley, Thomas H.; Read, Andrew J.
Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (1991)
We estimated the potential intrinsic rate of increase (r) of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) population in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine using empirical data on reproductive…
Trends in abundance of the Gulf of Maine population of harbour porpoise
Olson, P. A.
Master's Thesis - University of Rhode Island (1996)
Hundreds of harbor porpoise die each year as bycatch in the Gulf of Maine's sink gillnet fishery. In recent years, concern has arisen whether the Gulf of Maine population of…
Passive acoustic assesment of vaquita
Jaramillo-Legorreta, Armando M.; Rojas-Bracho, Lorenzo
Scientific Committee Meeting Documents (2008)
(...) During April 1997 the acoustic detector was successfully used to detect vaquitas for the first time. On that occasion we surveyed on a fixed location, aboard an outboard motor…
Effects of noise and by-catch on a Danish harbour porpoise population
Nabe-Nielsen, Jacob; Sibly, Richard M.; Tougaard, Jakob; Teilmann, Jonas; Sveegaard, Signe
Ecological Modelling (2014)
Ships and wind turbines generate noise, which can have a negative impact on marine mammal populations by scaring animals away. Effective modelling of how this affects the populations has to…

Conservation Biology (2016)
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is the world's most endangered marine mammal with ≈245 individuals remaining in 2008. This species of porpoise is endemic to the northern Gulf of California, Mexico,…
Abundance decline in the finless porpoise population in the Inland Sea of Japan
Kasuya, T.; Yamamoto, Y.; Iwatsuki, T.
The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (2002)
From 5 March to 1 July, 1999 and 2000, we made six shipboard surveys for finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in the Inland Sea, which is believed to be inhabited by…

Mei, Zhigang; Zhang, Xinqiao; Huang, Shiang-Lin; Zhao, Xiujiang; Hao, Yujiang; Zhang, Lin; Qian, Zhengyi; Zheng, Jinsong; Wang, Kexiong; Wang, Ding
Biological Conservation (2014)
For the conservation of endangered animals to be effective, information on population distribution and abundance requires regular updating from census efforts. The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis) has recently…
