Spiny dogfish
The spiny dogfish is a small, well-known shark with a sharp spine in front of each of its two back fins. It lives in shallow and offshore waters in most parts of the world, especially cooler seas, and it is hunted heavily for food. Its spines are its main form of defence.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- Two spines, one in front of each dorsal (back) fin.1
- No anal fin on the underside.1
- White spots along its back.1
- Greyish brown on both sexes, with countershading (darker on top, paler underneath).1
- Asymmetrical tail lobes, forming a heterocercal tail (the upper lobe is larger).1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: Several shark species share the names dogfish, spurdog and piked dogfish. Spiny dogfish are told apart by having two spines, one in front of each dorsal fin, and no anal fin.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Miiba mikali hubeba sumu. Kumkanyaga au kumshika kunauma.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Its dorsal spines secrete a mild venom. The spines are driven into an attacker when the shark arches its back.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.Hufanya nini akiogopa?
If it is caught, it arches its back to pierce its captor with the spines near its dorsal fins.1
Miiba yake ikikuchoma
- Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua (pima kwanza kwa mkono wako), kwa dakika 30 hadi 90. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu, hasa kwa samaki-jiwe na taa.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Miiba yake ikikuchoma: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Dogfish sharks have one of the longest pregnancies of any organism, lasting around 18 to 24 months.1
Spiny dogfish hunt in packs that can range up into the thousands.1
In England, dogfish are sold in fish and chip shops as 'huss', and used to be sold as 'rock salmon' until that term was outlawed.1
Spiny dogfish are popular dissection specimens in high schools and universities because they are easy to get and have small, cartilaginous skulls.1
Squalus acanthias fossils from the Miocene of Denmark and the Netherlands date from about 11 million years ago.1
Males are identified by a pair of modified pelvic fins called claspers, which they use to transfer sperm to the female.1
Kuvunja dhana potofu
Dhana potofu: All animals called dogfish or spurdog are the same species.
Ukweli: These common names can apply to several species. Spiny dogfish are identified by their two spines, one in front of each dorsal fin, and by having no anal fin.1
