Description
Spiny dogfish does not attack people, but potential danger comes from its sharp, toxic spines that can cause injuries in humans if not handled carefully. This is probably the most abundant shark species, widely distributed throughout the temperate and boreal waters of the North Atlantic and North Pacific. Spiny dogfish is used as a food fish and it's also harvested for its leather and oil.
