  1. 1. Navigating the Waves of Conservation: Spatiotemporal Patterns in Harbour Porpoise Strandings in Swedish Waters

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Vigge Ulfsson; [2024]
    Keywords : Strandings; spatiotemporal patterns; harbour porpoise;

    Abstract : Harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) are the only cetacean residents found year-round in Swedish waters. Since in situ monitoring of cetaceans can be difficult, invasive and often costly, strandings can be used as a cost-effective alternative to continuously collect data on these elusive animals.

    Abstract : Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where these lethal interactions might occur.

  4. 3. Do potentially seal-safe pingers deter harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the vicinity of gillnets and thereby reduce bycatch?

  5. 4. Hur plast påverkar valar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Environment and Health

    Author : Rebecka Clern; [2019]
    Keywords : makroplast; fiskeutrustning; fiskenät; spöknät; intrassling; förtäring;

    Abstract : Plastproduktionen har ökat avsevärt sedan 1950-talet, och dessvärre hamnar allt för stor del av plasten i naturen. På grund av plasters egenskaper kan det ta flera sekel innan de bryts ned, och idag befarar forskarna att det kan komma att finnas mer plast i haven än vad det kommer finnas fisk – redan år 2050.
