Spiny dogfish
The spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), spurdog, mud shark, or piked dogfish is one of the best known species of the Squalidae (dogfish) family of sharks, which is part of the Squaliformes order.
While these common names may apply to several species, Squalus acanthias is distinguished by two spines (one anterior to each dorsal fin) and no anal fin. It lives in shallow waters and further offshore in most parts of the world, especially in temperate waters. Those in the northern Pacific Ocean were reevaluated in 2010 and found to constitute a separate species, now called the Pacific spiny dogfish (Squalus suckleyi).
Examples of use of spiny dogfish
1. It says such devices are already being used by scientists at Boston University to "steer" a spiny dogfish in a fish tank.

3. Environmental groups are at odds with the Bush administration over the E.U. proposal to list spiny dogfish and porbeagle sharks under CITES, a measure on which the United States has yet to take a position.
4. And while the U.S. government has set catch limits for both species, fishermen often exceed them; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration‘s Fisheries Service reported that between May 2006 and April 2007, U.S. vessels caught 6.2 million pounds of spiny dogfish, exceeding the quota by more than 50 percent.
5. Early next month, officials from around the globe will meet in The Hague, Netherlands, to decide whether to put tight new controls on the trade in two heavily fished species, spiny dogfish and porbeagle, under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). "For most of human history, sharks have been seen as a threat to us," David Balton, the U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for oceans and fisheries, said in a recent interview.
