Insentiraja subtilispinosa (Stehmann, 1989)
|
Insentiraja subtilispinosa, commonly known as the western looseskin skate or velvet skate, is a common deep water skate in the family Arhynchobatidae.
Distribution and habitat
The western looseskin skate is typically found at depths between 320 and 1,460 meters (1,050 and 4,790 ft)[1] off northwest Australia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Although it is abundant in its known range, little is known about its biology.
Relationship to humans
Based on reported bycatch rates and population observances, there is no evidence to support concern of the western looseskin skate.[1]
