Testicular and ovarian development in neonatal and juvenile harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena was examined, using tissue from animals (males n= 65 and females n= 10) stranded or caught off the…
Examination of 95 Dall's porpoise specimens incidentally caught in gill nets, and 4 collected as beach strandings, indicate significant sexual dimorphism and developmental variation in several aspects of external morphology…
The vaquita (Phocoena sinus) is a small porpoise found only in the northern Gulf of California. This species may have been subject to high levels of mortality in the gill-net…
To provide hormone evidence on reproductive seasonality and maturity of the Yangtze finless porpoise, the authors monitored the monthly variations of serum reproductive hormones of a male Yangtze finless porpoise…
Harbour porpoises in the Bay of Fundy and Gulf of Maine feed primarily on Atlantic herring. Herring stocks have undergone dramatic fluctuations in abundance over the past three decades due…
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…
This report summarises the available knowledge on odontocete (toothed whale) distribution, behaviour, migration and threats and was compiled for the Bonn Secretariat of CMS.
