| parasitic infections in the east asian finless porpoise neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri living off the chinese yellow/bohai sea coast. | parasitic disease is among the major causes of health problems in marine mammals. however, little information on parasitic species composition and infection levels in finless porpoises (neophocaena spp.) is available. in this study, we report the first systematic survey on parasitic infections in the east asian finless porpoise n. asiaeorientalis sunameri (eafp) living off the chinese yellow/bohai sea coast. using both morphological and molecular methods, 5 parasitic helminths were identified: c ... | 2017 | 28627493 |
| echolocation click sounds from wild inshore finless porpoise (neophocaena phocaenoides sunameri) with comparisons to the sonar of riverine n. p. asiaeorientalis. | acoustic signals from wild neophocaena phocaenoides sunameri were recorded in the waters off liao-dong-wan bay located in bohai sea, china. signal analysis shows that n. p. sunameri produced "typical" phocoenid clicks. the peak frequencies f(p) of clicks ranged from 113 to 131 khz with an average of 121+/-3.78 khz (n=71). the 3 db bandwidths delta f ranged from 10.9 to 25.0 khz with an average of 17.5+/-3.30 khz. the signal durations delta t ranged from 56 to 109 micros with an average 80+/-11.4 ... | 2007 | 17552740 |
