Most of the data collected on the reproduction of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) comes from by-caught or stranded animals and is therefore opportunistic in nature. Harbour porpoises kept in a…
In the coastal waters of western Kyushu, Japan, a total of 97 incidentally taken or stranded finless porpoises, Neophocaena phocaenoides, was collected for studying age, growth and reproduction. An additional…
Dall's porpoises from the Sea of Japan population taken by a dolphin fishery vessel were examined. Estimated body lengths at sexual maturity were similar to those for the truei-type population…
(...) The finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) is found in the Inland Sea of Japan (Kasuya and Kureha 1979), but has not previously been confirmed to occur in the southwestern part…
