Dioxin-like compounds in porpoises and seals from the southern North Sea: relationship with biological and ecological factors
peer reviewed The North Sea represents a major ecosystem for the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) and the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina). The grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) occurs more occasionally in the southern part of the North Sea. Their population over this last decade has experienced major...
