Inferring ecological separation from regional differences in radioactive caesium in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena [PDF]
Geographic variation in the level of radioactive caesium-137 (Cs-137) was examined from the axial muscle of 36 harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena obtained as bycatch from 5 locations along the coast of Norway, ranging from southern (North Sea) to ...

An investigation of factors related to the bycatch of small cetaceans in fishing gear
The bycatch of cetaceans in fishing gear is considered to be one of the biggest conservation threats to these species. Gear modifications have the potential to reduce these bycatches in global fisheries but there is little available information on how ...
