Distinguishing between two species of finless porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides and N. asiaeorientalis) in areas of sympatry
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the two species can be differentiated at sea by direct observation and examination of photographs, and useful diagnostic field characters for species identification of free-ranging finless porpoises are described.
Detecting recent speciation events: the case of the finless porpoise (genus Neophocaena)
TLDR
A study conducted based on morphological characters and microsatellite and mitochondrial markers suggests that the two morphologically distinguishable forms of finless porpoise exist in sympatry in the strait of Taiwan and therefore represent different species as defined by the biological species concept.
Abundance and Trends of Indo-Pacific Finless Porpoises (Neophocaena phocaenoides) in Hong Kong Waters, 1996–2019
The Indo-Pacific finless porpoise (Neophocaena phocaenoides) occurs year-round in waters of southern and eastern Hong Kong. The population biology of the population was studied in the late 1990s and…
New Fossil Remains from the Pliocene Koetoi Formation of Northern Japan Provide Insights Into Growth Rates and the Vertebral Evolution of Porpoises
TLDR
A small fossil phocoenid from the lower Pliocene Koetoi Formation of Hokkaido is described, preserving a small, narrow rostrum, as well as anteroposteriorly elongate thoracic and lumbar vertebral centra with completely fused epiphyses and the great height of its neural spines is highly derived, even among extant species, and suggestive of a fast swimmer.
River Cetaceans and Habitat Change: Generalist Resilience or Specialist Vulnerability?
River dolphins are among the world’s most threatened mammals, and indeed the baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), a species endemic to China’s Yangtze River, is likely extinct. Exploitation for products such…

Radiological Investigation of Gas Embolism in the East Asian Finless Porpoise (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis sunameri)
TLDR
In this research, the first case of gas embolism identified in an East Asian finless porpoise inhabiting Asian waters is presented, highlighting the potential of PMCT as a promising tool for the diagnosis of gas Embolism in stranded cetaceans.
