Beringraja rhina
Description
Beringraja rhina (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880).
Longnose Skate. To 204 cm (80.3 in) TL (Weigmann 2016). Southeastern Bering Sea (Mecklenburg et al. 2002) to just below Punta San Juanico (25°59’N, 113°17’W), southern Baja California (Snytko 1987), and Gulf of California (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Benthic; depth: 9–1,294 m (30–4,244 ft) or more (min.: Wayne Palsson, pers. comm. to M.L.; max.: Keller et al. 2006b). Formerly Raja rhina Jordan & Gilbert, 1880. Probably not in Beringraja (Chiquillo et al. 2014) and note our comments under Beringraja inornata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1881).
