The Magellan Skate (Bathyraja magellanica) is a medium-sized (to 105 cm total length) skate that occurs in the Southeast Pacific Ocean from Puerto Montt, Chile to Cape Horn and in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean from San Matías Gulf to Tierra del Fuego, Argentina, off the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), and on the Burdwood Bank. It is demersal on the continental shelf and slope at depths of 30?600 m. It is captured in demersal trawl fisheries, however it has some refuge at depth and the population trend is suspected to be stable. Therefore, the Magellan Skate is assessed as Least Concern.
