Concentrations of chlorinated and brominated contaminants and their metabolites in serum of harbour seals and harbour porpoises [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2009
Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are top predators in the North Sea and consequently accumulate a variety of pollutants in their tissues. Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and their hydroxylated metabolites (HO-PCBs and HO-PBDEs) were measured in serum of ...

Morphogenesis of the brain in the harbour porpoise

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1988
AbstractMorphogenesis of the brain in a cetacean species has been investigated by means of reconstructions from serial sections of successive prenatal stages of the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). Four specimens ranging from 10 to 46 mm crown‐rump length (CRL) were selected and three‐dimensional reconstructions of the developing brains were ...

Status of the harbour porpoise in Greenland

Polar Biology, 1998
In Greenlandic waters the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) has been observed around the southern part of Greenland from Ammassalik on the east coast to Avanersuaq in northwest Greenland. The main distribution lies between Sisimiut and Paamiut in central west Greenland.

Precocious hearing in harbour porpoise neonates

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2017
Hearing is the primary sensory modality for toothed whales, but it is not known at which age it is fully developed. For newborn calves, hearing could fill an important function in maintaining contact with the mother and to develop echolocation skills.

Mass mortality in harbour seals and harbour porpoises caused by an unknown pathogen

Veterinary Record, 2008
EPIDEMICS caused by phocine distemper virus (pdv) resulted in mass mortalities of European harbour seals ( Phoca vitulina ) in 1988 and 2002 ([Harkonen and others 2006][1]). A third epidemic started in June 2007; the gross pathological changes observed in seals that died in the 2007 outbreak ...
