Bathyraja parmifera

Description

Bathyraja parmifera (Bean, 1881).

Alaska Skate. To 135 cm (54 in) TL (Stevenson et al. 2007). North-western Sea of Okhotsk (Saveliev et al. 2019), Western Bering Sea, at Ozernoy Bay, Kamchatka (Mecklenburg et al. 2018) to south-eastern Chukchi Sea (Mecklenburg and Steinke 2015) to central and eastern Aleutian Islands and south-eastern Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2016). Eggs cases collected in the Chukchi Sea east of Wrangel Island, Russia and on Beaufort Slope (Mecklenburg and Steinke 2015). Benthic; depth: 17–392 m (56–1,286 ft) (min.: Stevenson et al. 2007; max.: Stevenson et al. 2008) in Alaska waters. Reported to deeper depths in the western Bering Sea (1,425 m, 4,674 ft, Mecklenburg et al. 2002; 1,800 m, 5,904 ft, Grigorov et al. 2015), but may be a misidentification or an undescribed species (Ormseth 2015). This species and Bathyraja simoterus (Ishiyama, 1967) may be synonymous (Last et al. 2016).
