Leucoraja garmani (
Whitley, 1939)
|
The Rosette skate (Leucoraja garmani) is an abundant mid-depth skate.
The skate is named in honor of American ichthyologist-herpetologist Samuel Garman (1843‒1927), of Harvard University. [2]
The Rosette Skate is typically found at depths between 33 and 530 meters (108 and 1,739 ft). [1] [3] At the extremes on the United States Atlantic Coast specimens have been found as far north as the Nantucket Shoals and as far south as the Dry Tortugas. [1] Beyond, it has been located throughout the Caribbean, the eastern shores of Mexico and Central American, and the northern shores of South America. [4]
Based on reported bycatch rates and population observances, there is no evidence to support concern of the Rosette Skate. [1]
