Pavoraja mosaica, commonly known as the mosaic skate, is a species of fish in the family Arhynchobatidae. It lives in depths ranging from 300 meters to 450 meters off the northeastern coast of Australia.[1][3] It can reach up to 27.9 cm (11.0 in) in total length.[3]
Pavoraja mosaica has only been studied from a few specimens; therefore, nothing is known about its population size or trends. Although it can be spotted in a bycatch, current levels of fishing in its range are unlikely to pose a significant threat.[1]
