Beringraja binoculata (Girard, 1855) View in CoL .

Big Skate. To 244 cm (96 in) TL ( Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, at least as far west as Unalaska Island, to eastern Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Cabo Falsa (22°54’N, 110°02’W), southern Baja California ( Castro-Aguirre et al. 1993), and Gulf of California ( Castro-Aguirre and Espinosa Pérez 1996). Benthic; depth: 2 m (5 ft) or less to at least 501 m (1,643 ft) (min.: Miller et al. 1980; max.: Farrugia et al. 2016). Reported, but not confirmed, to 523 m (1,715 ft) (NWFSC-FRAM). The often-cited deeper maximum depth of 800 m (2,624 ft) (e.g., Allen and Smith 1988) lacks documentation and should not be cited ( Farrugia et al. 2016). Formerly Raja binoculata (Girard, 1855) .
