Best Answer

Spiny dogfish Squalus acanthias (also known as spurdog, piked dogfish and a number of other names) has five gill slits, all situated in front of the pectoral fins. This is according to Fishes of the Sea by John and Gillian Lythgoe (Blandford Press, 1991). The FAO FishBase (www.fishbase.org) is a good source of information on this and many other species of fish.
