Dogfish
The dogfish is the most common shark in
our area, but they are shy, and small, and rarely seen in
swimming areas. The dogfish is not an attack shark. They are
familiar to fishermen, but are not as impressive as their much
larger cousin, the great white of Jaws fame. The
dogfish schools with others of the same species, size and
gender. Its young are born live; the egg develops inside
the mother’s body (very
graphic photos here). The young of the dogfish are
called “pups.”
