The Spiny Dogfish Squalus Acanthias In The Northeastern Pacific

Excerpt from The Spiny Dogfish (Squalus Acanthias) In the Northeastern Pacific Use of dogfish as canned petfood is open to some of the same objections, and many canners also object to sharks because their tough hides jarn the fish grinders at petfood plants. Installa tion of grinders of different design would over come the latter objection, but as long as there is a steady supply of the many low-cost and otherwise underutilized fishes currently being used in petfoods, development of a petfood market for dogfish seems unlikely.
