Seasonal Breeding Alters Fecal Microbiota and Metabolome in the Male Captive Yangtze Finless Porpoise (<i>Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis</i>). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the seasonal variations in fecal microbiota and metabolites of captive Yangtze finless porpoises (YFP) during breeding (B) and nonbreeding (NB) seasons using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and UHPLC–MS/MS analysis. Firmicutes were dominant in NB, while Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteriota increased in B.

Telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome assembly of the endangered Yangtze finless porpoise and East Asian finless porpoise [PDF]

GigaScience
Abstract Background The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis, YFP) and the East Asian finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri, EFP) are 2 subspecies of the narrow-ridged finless porpoise that live in freshwater and saltwater, respectively.

Temporal and spatial biosonar activity of the recently established uppermost Yangtze finless porpoise population downstream of the Gezhouba Dam: Correlation with hydropower cascade development, shipping, hydrological regime, and light intensity [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Numerous dams disrupt freshwater animals. The uppermost population of the critically endangered Yangtze finless porpoise has been newly formed below the Gezhouba Dam, however, information regarding the local porpoise is scarce.

Genome Sequence of the Freshwater Yangtze Finless Porpoise [PDF]

Genes, 2018
The Yangtze finless porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis ssp. asiaeorientalis) is a subspecies of the narrow-ridged finless porpoise (N. asiaeorientalis). In total, 714.28 gigabases (Gb) of raw reads were generated by whole-genome sequencing of the Yangtze finless porpoise, using an Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.

Riverside underwater noise pollution threaten porpoises and fish along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, China

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
The Yangtze River exhibits a high biodiversity and plays an important role in global biodiversity conservation. As the world's busiest inland river in regard to shipping, little attention has been paid to underwater noise pollution.

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.
