The dogfish shark, a member of the class Chondrichthyes, is a popular dissection specimen in general biology and anatomy courses. It is useful for learning about cartilaginous fish and for studying comparative and vertebrate anatomy. Mature specimens allow for a thorough investigation of adult structures. Larger size is ideal for students working in pairs or small groups.
NOTE: Based on seasonal availability, substitution of shark genus and species may occur. Possible substitutes include the brown smooth-hound shark (Mustelus henlei) and the Atlantic blacktip shark (Carcharhinus limbatus). Dissection protocols and internal anatomy are the same as the traditional dogfish shark.
