Comments As usual, check my copyedits to make sure I didn't mess anything up. Otherwise, it looks good, not much to say: Sasata (talk) 15:53, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * "The black dogfish (Centroscyllium fabricii) is a species of dogfish shark in the family Etmopteridae, common over the outer continental shelf and continental slope at a depth of 180–2,250 m (590–7,380 ft)." Perhaps split this opening sentence, as the way its written, it's not completely clear whether the last half of the sentence applies to the species or the family.
 * Done.


 * I'm thinking "white muscle" should have a link, but couldn't find anything appropriate… according to our article on skeletal muscle, this term seems outdated, and type IIb is more accurate (?)
 * Changed to "swimming muscle"; "white muscle" is still used often in fish literature, but the distinction is not all that important here since this species doesn't have any red muscle.


 * any data on lifespan?
 * Not to my knowledge


 * convert tons to metric
 * Fishery statistics are always reported in metric tons, even in countries that otherwise use Imperial. I've linked the first instance to clarify.


 * probably don't need to define the acronyms TAC and ICES, as they aren't used again
 * I like including acronyms for terms when they exist; I think it's helpful in case the reader encounters them somewhere else.

Let me know of further issues. -- Yzx (talk) 17:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * No further issues. Images are PD or appropriately licensed, fixed one dab; passing as GA now. Sasata (talk) 18:08, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
