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…
The early postnatal growth of bottlenose dolphins and finless porpoises was studied using 97 body length records of 61 individuals born in aquariums. The growth rates observed were similar to…
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…
To improve knowledge of the life history of Dall's porpoise, Phocoenoides dalli (True, 1885) that are incidentally caught by the Japanese salmon mothership fishery in the northwestern North Pacific, a…
