Vertebral pattern variation in the North Sea harbor porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena ) by computed tomography. [PDF]
Vertebral series in the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) include cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and caudal. In contrast to studying skeletons from museums, in which small bones can be missed, evaluation of full body computed tomography (CT) scans ...

Integrating Porpoise and Cod Management: A Comparison of Days-at-sea, ITQs, and Closures
The purpose of this study is to determine if management measures based on effort reductions, in particular days-at-sea (DAS) controls, can approach a harbor porpoise individual transferable quotas (ITQ) program in terms of efficiency.

Developing a passive acoustic monitoring network for harbor porpoise in California [PDF]
Assessing the abundance of and trends in whale, dolphin, and porpoise (cetacean) populations using traditional visual methods can be challenging due primarily to their limited availability at the surface of the ocean.

Trends in Abundance of the Gulf of Maine Population of Harbor Porpoise
Hundreds of harbor porpoise die each year as bycatch in the Gulf of Maine\u27s sink gillnet fishery. In recent years, concern has arisen whether the Gulf of Maine population of harbor porpoise can sustain this level of bycatch.

Visual and acoustic effects of ambient noise on harbor porpoise in the Possession Sound
Harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) are one of the most frequently sighted cetaceans in the Salish Sea and are referred to as a sentinel species due to their sensitivity to anthropogenic threats, including that of vessel traffic and boat noise.

The cetacean brain is well studied. However, few comparisons have been done with other marine mammals. In this study, we compared the harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) and the harbor porpoise brain (Phocoena phocoena).

Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and wind farms: a case study in the Dutch North Sea
The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour porpoise occurrence has been affected by the presence of the Dutch offshore ...
