Harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) caught in herring weir (fish trap). Porpoises trapped in herring weirs often die as a result of efforts to remove them (by 'seining' the weir as shown here) but latterly cooperation between fishermen and researchers has improved the situation. Five porpoises were trapped in this weir and none were thought to have survived this operation. Grand Manan, Bay of Fundy, Canada
