Abstract excerpt
The harbour porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, experiences high levels of nonnatural mortality owing to interactions with commercial fisheries throughout its range. To accurately evaluate the significance of this bycatch, information on population structure is required. We have examined the population structure of this species in the northwest Atlantic Ocean using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence and nuclear...
