註釋This report describes results from an integrated program of research into the life history of small cetaceans in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. This was a multi-year, multi-investigator research effort directed at improving our understanding of the biology of porpoises, dolphins and small whales killed incidentally in commercial fishing operations within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). This research forms an important part of efforts directed to better understand the impact of removals of small cetaceans by commercial fisheries. Most of our efforts were directed at the species most affected by these removals in the Northwest Atlantic, the harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena. In addition, our work has also involved strategic stocks, including long-finned pilot whales Globicephala melas, common dolphins Delphinus sp., and beaked whales Mesoplodon spp. The various components of this project address different aspects of the biology of these species, but all are interrelated and interdependent. This approach has resulted in productive collaborations among the Principal Investigators involved in the project. Results of the various research components are appended separately, usually in the form of papers published by their respective Principal Investigator.
