The spiny dogfish is named for its two spines located near its dorsal fins, which it uses to defend against predation by injecting a mild venom through them. They are aggressive pack hunters which feed on squid, fish, crab, jellyfish, and more. They used to be one of the most abundant shark species, but are now classified as Vulnerable globally, and Critically Endangered in the northeast Atlantic due to overfishing.

Squaliformes | Round 2

Seal sharks, also known as kitefin sharks, are the largest bioluminescent vertebrate on record! They have small, narrow top teeth and large, serrated bottom teeth. This shark tends to reach lengths of around 1.3 m (4.6 ft) and preys on a wide variety of creatures. It's liver is full of oil that keeps its buoyancy neutral and allows it to swim without expending much energy. It is also, however, one of the primary reasons it is heavily fished.
