1. Navigating the Waves of Conservation: Spatiotemporal Patterns in Harbour Porpoise Strandings in Swedish Waters
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildningSammanfattning : 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.

2. Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. Making nets more acoustically visible : Floats as passive mitigation measures to reduce bycatch of harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) in gillnets
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic ResourcesSammanfattning : Incidental capture in fishing gear is today affecting at least 112 marine mammal species worldwide and for many smaller toothed whale species (Odontocete), gillnets are considered to be the largest problem. Although some effective mitigation measures exists, these are often context specific and many might be hard to implement due to reasons such as high costs and maintenance. LÄS MER
4. Elektroniska övervakningssystem inom fiskeri : jämförelse mellan två olika kamerasystem och observatör ombord inom småskaligt fiske
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic ResourcesSammanfattning : Elektroniska övervakningssystem, som består utav kamera och sensorer, används allt mer inom fisket. Syftet är att samla in data om fiskeaktiviteter. Elektroniska övervakningssystem används framförallt på stora fiskefartyg och tidigare forskning har främst riktats mot dessa, trotts att små fiskebåtar utgör en stor del av fiskeindustri. LÄS MER
5. Do potentially seal-safe pingers deter harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) in the vicinity of gillnets and thereby reduce bycatch?
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/BiologiSammanfattning : Incidental bycatch in gillnets is a substantial threat to small cetaceans. Using Acoustic Deterrent Devices, “pingers”, have successfully reduced bycatch of harbour porpoises in gillnets. LÄS MER
