Natural History and Exploitation of the Harbor Porpoise (Phocoena phocoena Linnaeus, 1758) during the Neolithic (ca. 4000–2000 cal. BC) in the Eastern Baltic Region

Animals, 2023
Compared with the history of seals in the Baltic Sea, the porpoise has received much less research attention. The harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) has been quite rare in the eastern Baltic in recent centuries, but according to archaeological finds ...

Marine Mammal HiCUP: A High Current Underwater Platform for the Long-Term Monitoring of Fine-Scale Marine Mammal Behavior Around Tidal Turbines

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Arrays of tidal turbines are being considered for tidally energetic coastal sites which can be important habitat for many species of marine mammal. Understanding risks to marine mammals from collisions with moving turbine blades must be overcome before ...

A real-time passive acoustic monitoring system to detect Yangtze finless porpoise clicks in Ganjiang River, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Phocoenidae live in fresh, coastal waters where they often share a significant portion of their habitat with humans. As a result, local activities (e.g., coastal fisheries and shipments) cause underwater noise pollution and threaten their ecosystem.

Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and wind farms: a case study in the Dutch North Sea [PDF]

, 2011
The rapid increase in development of offshore wind energy in European waters has raised concern for the possible environmental impacts of wind farms. We studied whether harbour porpoise occurrence has been affected by the presence of the Dutch offshore ...
