The Pacific Spiny Dogfish can be found in the Pacific Ocean, from the Bering Sea to Baja California. This species prefers bays, including both inshore and offshore waters, with juveniles tending to be found in the water column near the surface and adults near the ocean floor. They can live in waters as deep as 4,050 feet, and can travel long distances. Pacific Spiny Dogfish are opportunistic carnivores and feed upon mollusks, crustaceans, and small fishes. They are slow-growing and can live up to 100 years, reaching a maximum length of 4.25 feet, with an average range of 2.5-3.5 feet. These fish are grey with white spots, have a lighter belly, a slim, cylindrical body, and have a venomous spine in front of each dorsal fin. Though they are not often intentionally fished for by anglers, they can be caught using baited hooks. Source: NOAA Fisheries (https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/species/pacific-spiny-dogfish/overview)
