Aborted Dogfish ©JMC_DSC_1024.jpg

Add to Lightbox

A pregnant Spiny Dogfish (Squalus acanthias), brought up by fishermen, has aborted these live young. At my request, they tossed a few back, but the gulls were quick to snatch them. I question if they have a birthing season, and if so, why are they being fished at this time in their cycle?
