The primary difference between the two fisheries is that the
potential risk that exists in the herring fishery has already been
realized in the dogfish fishery. The export market for fresh dogfish
dramatically atrophied in 2013 when European Union nations
stopped importing the product due to concern about elevated
levels of PCBs in the fillets (currently acceptable levels are 75 ng/g
wet weight) (Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council, 2014). The
abrupt shift in the market is visible in historical landings data,
which show catch steadily increasing until 2012 (6,750,742 kg),
when it suddenly dropped in 2013 ( 51%). Since this market
disruption the industry has been working on numerous fronts to
create new markets for dogfish. By April 2013 articles encouraging
consumers in the US to purchase dogfish began to appear. As the
author of an online article titled “Eat Patriotic Fish” penned (Sea to
Table, 2013)
