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: The strongly triangular body shape, short tail, low number of thorns on the tail, absence of thorns on the disk, and eyes set far apart - are all consistent with Bathyraja richardsoni. Pale coloration is also right. Depth occurrence is OK. But, the most definitive character is the position of the pelvic fins. Very few skates have the pelvics situated wholly or nearly-wholly behind the disk. B. richardsoni is one that does - and so is the fish in this photo.

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.
