Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in a Harbor Porpoise, Sweden
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023 We found highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus clade 2.3.4.4b associated with meningoencephalitis in a stranded harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena). The virus was closely related to strains responsible for a concurrent avian influenza outbreak

Spontaneous neoplasms in harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2022 Harbour porpoises are widely distributed in the North Atlantic and represent the most abundant cetacean species in the North and Baltic Seas. Spontaneous neoplasms are relatively rarely reported in cetaceans, and only little is known about neoplasia in harbour porpoises.

CLICK COMMUNICATION IN HARBOUR PORPOISESPHOCOENA PHOCOENA [PDF]
Bioacoustics, 2011 ABSTRACT 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.

Out of Sight, Out of Mind: How Conservation Is Failing European Porpoises
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 The conservation of harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) appears to be failing in Europe. There are particular concerns about this species in the Baltic Proper, Black, and Mediterranean Seas, as well as in the Northeast Atlantic, including the Iberian ...

Click communication in wild harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractSocial delphinids employ a vocal repertoire of clicks for echolocation and whistles for communication. Conversely, the less social and acoustically cryptic harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) only produce narrow-band high-frequency (NBHF) clicks with properties that appear poorly suited for communication. Nevertheless, these small odontocetes

Age and lunar cycle predict harbor porpoise bycatch in the south-western Baltic Sea [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The harbor porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, is the only cetacean regularly occurring in the Baltic Sea. During the last decades, several anthropogenic activities have affected porpoises in the Baltic region.
