Skate - Amblyraja hyperborea or Dipturus linteus

Description

Skate at 1100m depth in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. Ken Sulak says that it Amblyraja hyperborea. This picture was called 'ray' when Daniel Jones sent it to him. John McEachran does NOT agree. He thinks that it is D. linteus (snout is too long for Amblyraja hyperborea and the clasper is not right). This picture was called 'Rosebank Ray' when it was sent to him. Samuel Iglésias identifies this picture as Amblyraja hyperborea.
