2 Dismissing Dogma: Using satellite tag technology to gain new insights into the horizontal and vertical movement patterns of spiny dogfish.

3 Segregation voracious and opportunistic Dogfish Along the U.S. Highly piscivorous, but maintains broad diet Potentially makes extended North -South migrations Atlantic Coast

31 Trophic perspective SSB= 155,800 mt 478,000 metric ton biomass estimates from NEFSC trawl surveys in 2007 (males + females) Dogfish consume about 1.5% of their body weight per day. Dogfish eats 6x it s body weight every year 2.8 million metric tons of prey were needed to support last years biomass estimate of spiny dogfish

33 Gadoids, herring, sand lance

34 Trophic perspective 1.9 million metric ton biomass estimates from Sat Tag data Dogfish consume about 1.5% of their body weight per day. Dogfish eats 6x it s body weight every year 11.5 million metric tons of prey were needed to support last years biomass estimate of spiny dogfish

35 Where do we go from here 1. Quantify sex-specific horizontal and vertical movements patterns of spiny dogfish in the northwest Atlantic ocean. 2. Compare the vertical and horizontal movement patterns of satellite tagged dogfish to the NEFSC bottom trawl survey over the same temporal time period foranomalies in catchability. 3. Compare movement patterns of males and females within the northwest Atlantic ocean to ascertain the true sex ratio of the population.
