Description:Spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias) are traditionally aged by counting band pairs on dorsal-fin spines; however, wear and tear of the spines make obtaining accurate age estimates of older spiny dogfish difficult. Vertebral centra are an alternate structure that can be used to estimate age, but success in their use has been varied.
