Baltic porpoise sightings 01-02 Citation D. Gillespie, P. Berggren, S. Brown, I. Kuklik, C. Lacey, T. Lewis, J. Matthews, R. Mclanaghan, A. Moscrop & N. Tregenza. 2005. Relative abundance of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena).

Harbour porpoises are subject to year-round bycatch in gillnets and other fishing gear in these waters. This is of particular concern in the Baltic Sea where a survey carried out in 1995 indicated that the population is low and current levels of anthropogenic mortality are believed to be unsustainable.
