How long can a dogfish stay out of water?

Dogfish, a type of shark, can typically survive out of water for about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on environmental conditions. They rely on water to breathe through their gills, and prolonged exposure to air can lead to suffocation. However, their ability to tolerate brief periods out of water varies among species and individual circumstances. It’s important to return them to water as quickly as possible if they are caught or stranded.
