Return of the Salish Sea Harbor Porpoise, Phocoena phocoena: Knowledge Gaps, Current Research, and What We Need to Do to Protect Their Future

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is one of the most abundant coastal cetacean species in the Northern Hemisphere with differential levels of regional knowledge.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Cetaceans are negatively affected by anthropogenic activities, including acoustic and physical disturbance from boat traffic. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context‐dependent, and site‐specific insights are needed for effective local ...

Toothed whale auditory brainstem responses measured with a non-invasive, on-animal tag [PDF]

open access: yesJASA Express Letters, 2021
Empirical measurements of odontocete hearing are limited to captive individuals, constituting a fraction of species across the suborder. Data from more species could be available if such measurements were collected from unrestrained animals in the wild ...

Harbor Porpoise Deaths Associated with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, the Netherlands, 2021

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2023
In August 2021, a large-scale mortality event affected harbor porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the Netherlands. Pathology and ancillary testing of 22 animals indicated that the most likely cause of death was Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae infection.

Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus in a Harbor Porpoise, Sweden

open access: yesEmerging 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

open access: yesDiseases 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]

open access: yesBioacoustics, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...
