ERRATA
The editor apologises on behalf of the author of the above-mentioned
article in Shark News 7, p.13, based on inaccurate information
provided to him in an early release of fisheries data. Additionally, a
glitch removed the last section of boxed text on p. 8, Shark News 8.
Referring to developing dogfish fisheries along the Washington,
Oregon and California coast and the lack of for stock assessment data
collection or fisheries management proposals in US waters (in contrast
with the present situation in BC described above), this should have
concluded: "A similar boom-and-bust pattern was seen in British
Columbia during a fishery for vitamin-A rich dogfish livers that, six
years after its 1943 peak, had reduced fishable biomass 75%."
