Comparing visual and acoustic detectability of two coastal cetacean species off Sindhudurg, India, to better inform integrated survey protocol [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The Indian Ocean humpback dolphin (Sousa plumbea) and the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) are resident to the inshore waters of India. Despite urgent conservation concerns facing both species, population assessments and long-term

The first complete hand-rearing of two neonatal finless porpoises.

PLoS ONE
Hand-rearing of marine mammals is an essential technique for the husbandry of orphans in captivity or the wild, especially endangered cetacean species.

Telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome assembly of the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise and East Asian finless porpoise. [PDF]

Gigascience
Abstract Background The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis, YFP) and the East Asian finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri, EFP) are 2 subspecies of the narrow-ridged finless porpoise that live in freshwater and saltwater, respectively.

Indo-Pacific finless porpoises presence in response to pile driving on the Jinwan Offshore Wind Farm, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Jinwan Offshore Wind Farm project in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is a new stressor for the resident marine mammals there, especially for the Indo-Pacific finless porpoise.

Two Strategies for Researching the Endangered Yangtze Finless Porpoises Suggest Data‐Poor Areas Are Worthy of Greater Conservation Efforts [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The distribution and abundance of species are crucial components of their population ecology and serve as the foundation for effective conservation efforts.

Comparative Analysis of Blood Transcriptome in the Yangtze Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis)

Fishes, 2022
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis) is the sole freshwater subspecies of Neophocaenaphocaenoides, and there is a lack of data on its transcriptome.

Population Prediction of Finless Porpoise in the Yangtze River

Highlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023
Finless porpoise is the only freshwater mammal in the Yangtze River basin, which has suffered a plummet in population these years. Our team mainly used Improved Leslie Population Model and Improved Differential Equation Model to predict the change of its population.

Novel morphological and molecular data for Nasitrema spp. (Digenea: Brachycladiidae) in the East Asian finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The East Asian finless porpoise, Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri, ranks among the most endangered species with rapidly decreasing population in the Northwest Pacific. Trematode parasites of the genus Nasitrema that inhabit the air sinuses, inner ear,

Genome-Wide SNP and Population Divergence of Finless Porpoises [PDF]

Genome Biology and Evolution, 2013
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapidly becoming the population genomic markers in addressing ecology, evolution, and conservation issues for their high capacity to access variability across the genome. We isolated a total of 140 ideal SNPs from the finless porpoise and used 78 (under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium) of them to conduct those ...
