Zn, Cu, Cd and Hg binding to metallothioneins in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the southern North Sea [PDF]

, 2006
Background: Harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena from the southern North Sea are known to display high levels of Zn and Hg in their tissues linked to their nutritional status (emaciation). The question arises regarding a potential role of metallothioneins

Time and tide: Seasonal, diel and tidal rhythms in Wadden Sea Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena).

PLoS ONE, 2019
Odontocetes have evolved a rich diversity of prey- and habitat-specific foraging strategies, which allows them to feed opportunistically on locally and temporally abundant prey.

Follow-up study after four years shows reduced deterrence effect of pingers on harbour porpoises in Norwegian gillnet fishery

NAMMCO Scientific Publications
We report results from follow-up field trials testing acoustic deterrents (pingers) as a measure to reduce harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) by-catch rates in coastal gillnet fisheries in Norway.

Patterns of organic contaminants in marine mammals with reference to sperm whale strandings [PDF]

, 1997
Discriminant analysis has been applied to organochlorine contaminant data from a small number (ca 3-25) of 12 different marine mammal species to discriminate between the species on the basis of the chlorobiphenyls (CB) patterns in blubber and account for

A negative trend in abundance and an exceeded mortality limit call for conservation action for the Vulnerable Belt Sea harbour porpoise population

Frontiers in Marine Science
The management and conservation of biodiversity relies on information on both the abundance of species and the potential impact of threats. Globally, one of the largest threats towards marine biodiversity is bycatch in fisheries.

The times they are a changin’: Temporal patterns in small cetacean abundance in the northeast Atlantic

Ecological Indicators
Conserving marine species effectively requires spatially and temporally explicit knowledge of their abundance and distribution for assessing potential impacts (e.g., from fishery bycatch, anthropogenic sound, ship strikes) over different spatial and ...
