Fishermen can catch more Atlantic spiny dogfish in 2025
What happened
US regulators have increased the amount of Atlantic spiny dogfish that can be caught in 2025. This means commercial fishermen will have a higher quota for this species next year.
Why it matters
Every year, regulators set limits on how many fish can be caught to prevent overfishing. These limits directly affect how much income fishermen can make from a particular species. An increase in the quota means more economic opportunity for those who fish for Atlantic spiny dogfish.
The signal
Watch for reports on actual catch levels in 2025 to see if fishermen meet the new higher quota, and how that affects market prices.
