The Pacific Spiny Dogfish, Squalus suckleyi, is a common species of the Squalidae (dogfish) family of sharks, which is part of the Squaliformes order. This species is closely related to Squalus acanthias and for many years they were treated as a single species.[2] Recent research, using meristic, morphological and molecular data led to the resurrection of Pacific Spiny Dogfish as a separate species.[2] The American Fisheries Society recommends the common name "Pacific Spiny Dogfish" for Squalus suckleyi over alternatives such as "Spotted Spiny Dogfish" and "North Pacific Spiny Dogfish" and "Spiny Dogfish" for Squalus acanthias.[3]
