When you buy those "Sharklage" pills for cancer in the vitamin store or in the back of National Enqiurer, it is ground up dogfish cartilage. Stuff is big money because they have to cook it at low temps to clean it but not destroy the peptides which is the active ingredient.

Haven't met a gillnetter yet who doesn't like dogfishing ...........
The dogs I catch, maybe 30-40 each during our bottom fishing travels get cut up and stuffed in the rec lobster traps.

I guess I'll start harvesting the embyros!!! Dam things will slip right into a bait bag !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
