Summary
In the UK, it is estimated that around 1,000 porpoises die each year after being trapped in gillnets. From 2000 to 2014, the number of porpoise deaths on the German Baltic Sea coast has more than quadrupled from 25 to 129. Published according to the editorial standards of the Handelsblatt. Near this net, two common porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) first searched for food for minutes in 2019 before one of them got caught in it.
Furthermore, While this animal - presumably not yet fully grown - tried to free itself, it emitted more than 50 calls. According to St. Andrews University, catching animals in fishing gear is the world's most common cause of direct human-induced death from dolphins and porpoises. By chance, researchers at the Scottish University of St. Andrews recorded such a so-called bycatch event with a porpoise off the English coast.
In addition, According to them, there are thousands of kilometres of fishing nets in British waters alone. The calls may be distress signals to the conspecific, writes the team.
