Jesus, remember that Spiny Dogfish you caught by hand? Check this out... Archived Message Posted by MikeB on 12/28/2005, 1:26 pm "The dogfish is a relative of the stingray that is also equipped with some formidable defenses. The spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias is known to have injured humans. In fact, there is a reference dating from 200 A.D. in a Grecian fishing poem: "Dogfish, from their prickly mail, well-named the spinous; These in punctures sharp, a fatal poison from their spines inject." This animal inhabits the North Atlantic and North Pacific. They have a single spine at the anterior margin of each of the two dorsal fins. When the spine enters the skin, venom enters from the venom gland located on the upper portion of each spine." Here is a link to the entire article (I hope it works).... http://www.diversalertnetwork.org/medical/articles/article.asp?articleid=56 Message Thread: Jesus, remember that Spiny Dogfish you caught by hand?
