No doubt the commercial fishing industry will give it a glossy flash name and sell it as top cuisine of some sort http://www.paniasurfcasting.org http://www.surfcaster.co.nz

Read the article and would suggest it was written on hersay and guesswork. Even some of the so called expert comment was off the track. Some years they do some years they dont. They are a successful species that has its own parameters. The writer would have us believe its all over for the Naki. This species will take over from all the others! All fishers who dont like spiney dogfish should move out now as they are taking over. It was a good laugh I thought.

I agree with you gary, the media hype exaggerates any story, thats why i usually avoid it! Last couple of fishing trips have turned up heaps of spikys though i cant comment whether it any worse than normal
