      Longitudinal data on individual growth and seasonal changes in body mass, girth, and blubber thickness are rarely available for cetaceans, making it difficult to assess their population composition and individual nutritional condition. During different time intervals from 1997 to 2020, we collected longitudinal data on length, body mass, girth,and blubber thickness from seventeen harbour porpoises ...

      Harbour porpoises (<i>Phocoena phocoena</i>) in the Baltic Sea are under increasing pressure from anthropogenic activities, which affect the overall health of populations. Individuals’ haematologic and biochemistry parameters are known to be linked to a population’s health status and are therefore useful tools for cross-population comparisons and to assess health patterns of a population through ...
