Dogfish

Dogfish are a relatively nondescript species – though they are credited with causing a lot of trouble with the Atlantic fishing industry. Dogfish are behind destruction of nets, bait, and eating fish in the nets, rendering them unfit for sale. Dogfish are a small species of bony shark, most notably the Spiny Dogfish, a very common fish, that are in every ocean.

They are a member of the Squalidae order of sharks, noted for having two dorsal fins, no anal fin, very rough skin and spines along the back. They are usually no larger than about 5 feet long. They are protected at present, and aren’t used in a lot of food beyond fish and chips in the UK and snack foods on the European continent, so it isn’t worth putting payday loans into catching any.
