Status of the harbour porpoise in Greenland
Polar Biology, 1998In 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, 2017Hearing 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.

Marine debris in harbour porpoises and seals from German waters
Marine Environmental Research, 2017 Records of marine debris in and attached to stranded harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena), harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) were studied comprising information on 6587 carcasses collected along the German coast between ...

Mass mortality in harbour seals and harbour porpoises caused by an unknown pathogen
Veterinary Record, 2008EPIDEMICS 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 ...

CLICK COMMUNICATION IN HARBOUR PORPOISESPHOCOENA PHOCOENA
Bioacoustics, 2011ABSTRACT Sound plays an important role for toothed whales in foraging and communication. However, little is known about acoustic communication in the toothed whale species that only produce narrow band high frequency (NBHF) clicks, such as the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena.

Mycotic Otitis Media in a Harbour Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)
Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2010A 9-year-old by-caught harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) was subject to routine post-mortem examination. Major findings included parasitic infection (Stenurus minor) of the left middle ear and severe mycotic infection of the right middle ear. The morphological appearance of the causative organism was consistent with Aspergillus fumigatus.

Organochlorine residues in harbour porpoises from Southwest Greenland
Environmental Pollution, 2004During the 1995 hunting season, 75 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) were sampled in three locations in West Greenland: Maniitsoq, Nuuk, and Paamiut. Sex, age, morphometrics, reproductive condition, and organochlorine compound (OC) levels in blubber were determined for each individual. OC levels were extremely low and, therefore considered unlikely

Prey capture by harbour porpoises
2009The harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is a small toothed whale living mostly in coastal waters. There are large, but unknown, numbers in the inner Danish waters. Four are in captivity at Fjord & Bælt, Kerteminde, Denmark, one of which was born here in 2007.
