Abstract

On the basis of the catch-per-unit-effort of harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) by commercial vessels, an estimate was obtained of the number of porpoises killed by the non-Greenlandic vessels fishing for salmon at West Greenland. During 1972 the estimated kill was 1500. The distribution of porpoises based on catches by commercial and research vessels is also discussed.
