Beringraja stellulata
Description
Beringraja stellulata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1880).
Starry Skate. To 79 cm (31.1 in) TL, and probably to 82.5 cm (32.5 in) TL (Joseph J. Bizzarro). Queen Charlotte Sound (50°56.5’N, 128°45.3’W), British Columbia (DFO) to Isla de Cedros, and Bahía de Sebastian Vizcaino, central Baja California (Castro-Aguirre and Espinosa Pérez 1996). and northern Gulf of California (Jacobsen Stout et al. 2019). Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska records of this species are incorrect (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), and perhaps reflect catches of Bathyraja parmifera (Ebert 2003). Benthic; depth: 2 m or less to at least 400 m (1,312 ft) (min.: Miller et al. 1980; max.: Joseph J. Bizzarro), with undocumented records to 982 m (3,221 ft) (Joseph J. Bizzarro). Formerly Raja stellulata Jordan & Gilbert, 1880. However, while we list this species, for now, as B. stelluata we disagree with the revision; please note our comments under Beringraja inornata (Jordan & Gilbert, 1881).
