Ransom Myers gave a great talk at GSO a few months ago about this... Dogfish are a mid-level predator; when the large predators drop off, the middle ones line Dogfish fill the Niche and take over.

There is definetly not enough by-catch to keep the population in check though Likwid. They are thicker then I have ever seen them on my spots off Newport, and hear at times of the year we didnt use to encounter them...
