Radiological Investigation of Gas Embolism in the East Asian Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Cetaceans have long been considered biologically adapted to suffer no adverse effects from diving-related tissue gas tension. However, increasing reports of gas embolism in cetaceans inhabiting European, Mediterranean and American waters have challenged ...

Genetic Diversity and Population Differentiation of Yangtze Finless Porpoise in Poyang Lake. [PDF]

Animals (Basel)
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis; YFP) is the only freshwater cetacean species that remains in the Yangtze River, China. Poyang Lake is connected to the main stream of the Yangtze River, and the number of YFPs in Poyang Lake constitutes approximately half of the total species population.

Abundance and Trends of Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Hong Kong Waters, 1996–2019

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) occurs year-round in waters of southern and eastern Hong Kong. The population biology of the population was studied in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but has not been examined recently.

Different Microsatellite Mutation Models May Lead to Contrasting Demographic Inferences through Genealogy-Based Approaches: A Case Study of the Finless Porpoise off the East Asian Coast

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Understanding the population history of wide-ranging species, especially those ranging over varying landscapes, helps in deciphering the evolutionary force (s) that shaped the present genetic diversity/structure of regional fauna.

Underwater Noise Level Recordings from a Water Intake Pontoon and Possible Impacts on Yangtze Finless Porpoises in a Natural Reserve

Animals, 2022
Underwater noise pollution caused by human activities may affect freshwater cetaceans to different degrees. To analyze the impacts of water intake pontoons on Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis), this study collected underwater noise ...

A real-time passive acoustic monitoring system to detect Yangtze finless porpoise clicks in Ganjiang River, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Phocoenidae live in fresh, coastal waters where they often share a significant portion of their habitat with humans. As a result, local activities (e.g., coastal fisheries and shipments) cause underwater noise pollution and threaten their ecosystem.
