Recognizing the conservation problems with shark fisheries worldwide, BC dogfish fishermen have embraced strict rules and monitoring of their catches. Every dogfish caught commercially on a hook and line in BC is recorded on an onboard video camera, weighed and validated again onshore to enforce strict catch limits. This video is from an onboard camera on the CFV Helen II fishing off the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
