Status of small cetacean populations in the Black Sea:review of current information and suggestions for future research

Three species of small cetaceans in the Black Sea were harvested from 1870-1983: common dolphin Delphinus delphis, harbour porpoise or Azov dolphin Phocoena phocoena and bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus. The fisheries in the four bordering countries were halted because of greatly reduced catche...
