Elasmobranchii (sharks and rays) > Rajiformes (Skates and rays) > Rajidae (Skates)
Etymology: Dipturus: Greek, di = two + Greek, pteryx = fin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: These fish are named after the US National Marine Fisheries Service research vessel ‘Oregon’, from which the holotypes were collected. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology
Marine; bathydemersal; depth range 475 - 1080 m (Ref. 114953). Deep-water; 24°N - 29°N, 97°W - 78°W (Ref. 114953)
Distribution Territories | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri
Western Central Atlantic: apparently restricted to the Gulf of Mexico, including eastern Florida (Ref. 114953).
Size / Weight / Age
Found on upper and mid-continental slope (Ref. 114953). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205). Biology little known. Males reaches maturity by ca. 107cm TL (Ref. 114953).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00288 (0.00136 - 0.00610), b=3.25 (3.08 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Very high vulnerability (77 of 100). 🛈 |
