Doug Rafferty of WGME13 news focused the Oct. 7, 2009 Doug's Discovery segment on research being conducted by James Sulikowski,  Ph.D., UNE assistant professor of marine sciences, on spiny dogfish. Sulikowski has been awarded a $237,000 grant from the NOAA Saltonstall-Kennedy Grant Program to use satellite tags to examine the behavior of spiny dogfish in the Northwest Atlantic. The research will try to determine the habitat, depth and movement patterns of the spiny dogfish to better understand the  inconsistencies in data collected by federal agencies and the commercial fishing industry.
