Description: Ray on seabed
K. Sulak says that the ray in the image is almost certainly Rajella fyllae. The pattern of spotting is characteristic, as are the multiple rows of small spines along the rather broad tail. The bands across the tail are sometimes visible in this species, sometimes not. R. fyllae is a boreal to low Arctic species, inhabiting both sides of the North Atlantic, 100-800 m depth, generally between 1-7 degrees C.
S. Iglésias agrees with this identification

Description: This is a member of the family Anacanthobatidae (the classification is: Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Rajiformes (Skates and rays) > Anacanthobatidae (Smooth skates))
It is probably the species Sinobatis borneensis, the Borneo leg skate. Members of this family are very thin, sometimes translucent.
The depth occurrence and location are right for this species - although the tail looks a bit too short relative to body length.
Max length recorded is : 39.9 cm TL male
Depth range recorded is: 800 - 1100 m
Western Pacific: South China Sea and Taiwan.
Distinguishing features: Disc thin. Snout broad and long with rostral filament. Eye small and remote from snout. Pelvic anterior lobe leg-like and completely separate from posterior lobe. Pelvic posterior lobe fused with tail. Tail slender.
This species was described in 1965
1100meters depth in the Gumusut Kakap Field off Kota Kinabalu

Description: Skate at 1100m depth in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. Ken Sulak says that it is Dipturus linteus. This image was called 'Rosebank Ray 111' when sent to Ken, and subsequently 'Rosebank Dipturus linteus'.
John McEachran thinks that it is Dipturus linteus.
Samuel Iglésias does NOT agree. He identifies that specimen as Amblyraja hyperborea. He says that he has never observed specimens of D. linteus except on photos but he does not think it is that species.

Description: Recently the Common Skate (Dipturus batis) was recognised as being two distinct species - with the Flapper Skate D. cf. intermedia being the more northerly (and larger) of the two, and the more southerly species being the Blue Skate which is likely to retain the name D. batis (scientific names are still being decided). This individual looks like D. intermedia and that fits with the distribution and where it was sighted.
The "common skate" is, in fact very rare. It is classified as critically endangered by the IUCN red list of threatened species http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2006.RLTS.T39397A10198950.en Item Type: Image Title: Common Skate Copyright: SERPENT Project Species: Dipturus sp. Behaviour: A brief encounter with this skate. The skate was on the seabed near some survey equipment as the ROV approached to recovery the gear. It began to swim away as it was illuminated by the ROV lights.
