adults have been recorded on wing from july to september .

udea radiosalis

these three shots have borders on them . you should re - crop . this one seems to be very close to udea radiosalis . the other two are very similar to this one , but they could be different species . it might be best to put these in at the genus level , until an expert can review them .
udea is a genus of moths of the family crambidae . they are mostly native to eurasia and the new world . there are over 200 species . about 41 are native to hawaii .
just tossing out photos of 3 individuals of what i think are udeas . to me they could be udea turmalines , itysalis , or abstruse or even something else . has me frazzled . here ' s the first one .

the common skate or blue skate ( dipturus batis , syn . raja batis ) is the largest skate in the world attaining a length of up to 2.85 m ( 9.4 ft ) .

historically , it was one of the most abundant skates in the northeast atlantic ocean and the mediterranean sea .

despite its name , today it appears to be absent from much of this range .

where previously abundant , fisheries directly targeted this skate and elsewhere it is caught incidentally as bycatch .

the species was uplisted to critically endangered on the iucn red list in 2006 and it is protected within the eu .

research published in 2009 and 2010 suggests that the species should be split into two , the smaller southern d. cf. flossada ( blue skate ) , and the larger northern d. cf. intermedia ( flapper skate ) .

under this taxonomic arrangement , the name d. batis is discarded .

common skate have historically been overfished , and their distribution is now limited to scotland and north ireland ; please submit records with photos for verification .
now found mostly in northern scotland and the north of ireland , the range of the common skate is massively diminished . once common around the entire british coastline , unsustainable levels of fishing throughout the 19th and 20th centuries decimated the species , with only a few strongholds now remaining . today the common skate is a prohibited species in commerical fisheries - with no targeting , retaining , transhipping or landing of the skate permitted . the common skate is also a key marine species in the uk biodiversity action plan ( uk bap ) , with management plans in place to encourage expansion of both range and population .
. , 1963 ) and was regarded as a common species by hureau & monod ( 1979 ) . however the common skate had become all but extinct by the late 1970s ( brander , 1981 ) . similarly , between 1901 and 1907 , the common skate made up 4 % of all elasmobranchs caught in trawls in southwest england but between 1989 and 1997 none were caught ( rogers & ellis , 2000 ) .
that , coupled with danger from careless fishing trawls , means that not only is the skate population drastically decreasing , but that it is likely the common skate will soon disappear entirely unless more is done to preserve it .

males usually grow up to a length of 125 cm . female have yet to be accurately measured for size , it is reported to be approximately 150 cm . for every male common skate there is approximately one female common skate , so the sex ration is 1 : 1 , however this changes depending on the season and geography . when juveniles are born , they are measured at 21–22 cm long .
currently , the common skate is listed as a critically endangered species . it is threatened both in the atlantic ocean and mediterranean sea . in both cases , it seems likely due to fishing trawls that are after things like hake or anglerfish , and who simply catch the common skate by accident . due to the popularity and profitability of trawling fishing , it
it is unlikely that fishing effort will decrease

along with the winter skate , other species of nw atlantic skates are in the process of being reviewed by cosewic , or have been chosen for assessment . assessments of the available scientific information for thorny skate ( amblyraja radiata ) and for smooth skate ( malacoraja senta ) were conducted in 2004 and 2006 , respectively , and the barndoor skate ( dipturus laevis ) is up for initial evaluation by cosewic in 2008 . for a detailed review of the available scientific information on smooth skate in canadian waters ( with reference to its global distribution ) take a look at the
ecologically , skates are important in food chains , consuming smaller fish and crustaceans , as well as mollusks , and being consumed by sharks , among other predators . there is concern that overfishing of sharks in some areas has led to a disruption of this delicate balance , with a resultant increase in some skate and ray populations endangering the scallop populations ( schmid 2007 ) . for humans , skates with their unique form and undulating movements add to the wonder of nature and the large pectoral fins of skates are edible and are eaten by people . some skate species , such as the common skate and white skate , are considered to be critically endangered .

eggcase hunts have been done to see the general distribution of the common skate . eggcases were only found in northern scotland and the north of ireland . in the 19th and 20th centuries eggcases were usually seen along the entire british coastline in high numbers , but now they are only found in a few selective areas .
initial investigations by dr graham edgar indicate that the species may be a gondwanan relict and the oldest lineage of skate in the world , with its closest relatives in southern new zealand ( the rough skate raja nasuta ) and patagonia .
despite recent reported declines in abundance of three of the most common species of skate in atlantic canada waters , very little is known about all species of northwest atlantic skate . researching the life histories of skates and rays is an important step towards their conservation . for example , age information is crucial to our understanding of the resiliencies of species to exploitation as it forms the foundation for calculations of growth and mortality rates , age at maturity , and longevity . here at the bedford institute of oceanography , recent studies were undertaken to elucidate the critical life history characteristics of four species of skates ( family rajidae ) on the eastern scotian shelf off nova scotia , canada : the winter skate ( leucoraja ocellata ) , the little skate ( leucoraja erinacea ) , the thorny skate ( amblyraja radiata ) , and the smooth skate ( malacoraja senta ) . more specifically , the following characteristics were examined for each species :
skates , rays , sharks , and sawfish all belong to a group called elasmobranchs : fish with cartilaginous skeletons and multiple gill slits on each side of the head . the largest skate , called the common skate , can reach more than eight feet long . found in oceans throughout the world , skates ( rajidae ) differ from rays ( mylobatidae ) mainly because they lay eggs as opposed to being live bearing … and they don’t sting .

the skate is the largest ray species found in the north sea . it can grow to 2 . 5 meters long and weigh 100 kilogram . the skate used to be very common in the north sea . because this species is known as a delicacy , it used to be intensely fished . however , skates are only sexually mature at age twelve . the chance of being caught before reproducing was high and therefore they have almost disappeared . until the early 1960s , egg capsules from the skate used to wash ashore regularly , but now that is extremely rare .

it takes a female common skate around 11 years to reach sexual maturity . once it has reached sexual maturity , they will only reproduce every other year . they mate in the spring and during the summer they lay approximately 40 eggcases which they put in sandy / muddy flats . the embryos then develop for 2–5 months before leaving their eggcase .
the life - history traits of b . minispinosa in combination with the relatively limited distribution and low abundance of the species probably render it especially susceptible to overexploitation . for this reason , directed skate fishing along the eastern bering sea continental slope is not supported by the results here . annual or biannual slope surveys , such as the nmfs–afsc survey , should be encouraged , however , to monitor skate abundance at a species - specific level . in particular , attention needs to be paid to the status of some of the less common , but longer - lived skate species such as b . minispinosa .

first of all it is important to know that rays give birth to live young and that skates lay eggs in egg cases ( mermaid’s purses ) . so every fish named in this part of the web site must be a skate and none can be called rays ! yet most of them have been called rays up until now . to add to the confusion , most species have two or more common names depending upon which part of the coast you are on . finally , in some instances the same common name has been applied to two and even three different species !

the common skate is often seen travelling in same sex / age groups ( 3 ) , near to the sea floor ( 4 ) . mating occurs mainly in the spring and during copulation there is a distinct embrace between males and females ( 4 ) . the female then lays long oblong egg capsules , which are anchored into the muddy or sandy substrate by their stiff pointed horns ( 4 ) . an individual will lay around 40 eggs a year ( 4 ) . males only reach sexual maturity once they have reached a length of 125 cm , which corresponds to around 10 years of age ( 2 ) . the common skate is thought to live for as long as 50 years ( 2 ) , and it takes around 14 years for the population to double in size ( 4 ) . common skates feed on a variety of bottom dwelling organisms but preferentially consume fish ( 4 ) . unlike most other skates , these fish are active by both day and night ( 5 ) .
skates are commercially harvested for their wings , which are considered tasty ( skate wing with butter , anyone ? ) . the flesh of a skate ' s wing is said to be similar to the taste and texture of scallops . they are usually harvested using otter trawls .

fish to avoid
eating—unless certain that one is consuming a species with a stable population—because in general skates are highly vulnerable to exploitation given their slow growth , high age at maturity , and low reproductive rates . of particular concern in this regard is the larger skate species , and in particular the long nosed skates like the common skate .

the common skate is a bottom dwelling species . people will most likely find them in waters with a depth of approximately 200m . but , common skates can be found anywhere up to 600m . they are now found in those depths at the waters off northwestern scotland and in celtic sea , and along the edge of the continental shelf . the historic range of d . batis covered much of the continental shelf of the north - east atlantic . it went from madeira and some of northern morocco in the south , all the way to iceland and northern norway in the north . this range also included the mediterranean sea . when the twentieth century started common skates were considered to have a wide range over the shallower waters of the continental shelf surrounding the british isles . now their population and range is severely depleted and fragmented , with disappearances being reported on several .
the skate lives on sandy and muddy bottoms . the adults live in depths of 10 to 600 m while younger specimens prefer shallower waters .
the egg capsules of skates can be distinguished by their shape and by their size and the length of their tendrils relative to the capsule body . for a more detailed description of and / or a closer look at some of the capsules of nw atlantic skate species , click on the link identification of nw atlantic skate egg capsules . also included in this page is an identification key of scotian shelf skate egg capsules .
knowledge of the reproductive characteristics of a species is key to both assessing vulnerability and to proper management . for example , age - at - maturity and fecundity are important life history parameters as they can greatly affect a species ' resilience to exploitation and extinction . however , despite recent reported declines in abundance of skate in atlantic canada waters , much remains to be learned about the reproductive biology of even the most common species . a recent study carried out at the canadian shark research lab at the bedford institute of oceanography aimed to estimate size - and age - at - maturity and fecundity , and to discern seasonal patterns in reproductive output for the winter skate ( leucoraja ocellata ) , the little skate ( leucoraja erinacea ) , the thorny skate ( amblyraja radiata ) , and the smooth skate ( malacoraja sent a ) on the eastern scotian shelf ( ess ) ( nafo divisions 4vsw ) off nova scotia , canada ( mcphie and campana 2009b ) .

after about a month in our seagrass tank , we saw no changes , but we were still hopeful that we would have a newborn skate soon . to our surprise , this past weekend our patience finally paid off - we came in saturday morning and discovered a baby skate on the bottom of the tank ! hatching at a length of 5” and almost double the size of her egg case , this was no tiny baby ! we determined that the species of our hatchling was a clearnose skate , due to the transparent skin on her nose , a common trait of this species . we plan to keep our baby skate in the safety of our seagrass tank for a couple of weeks , then we will release her back into the ocean so that she can live a happy and healthy life in the gulf of mexico .

this skate ' s apparent habitat preference for rocky reefs precludes its capture in most trawl fisheries ( d . ebert pers . obs . 2007 ) .
) . unfortunately , very little scientific information is available on the other species of skate in atlantic canada waters , precluding an assessment of extinction risk .
a formal stock assessment for the big skate in british columbia , canada was published by fisheries and oceans canada . the assessment concluded that the historical ( 1996 - 2011 ) levels of removal have had no significant impact on big skate abundance in the region based on available trawl and longline survey data ( king
peaks in these characteristics can be indicative of periods of enhanced reproductive activity , especially if peaks are coincident between males and females of the same species . other , detailed studies have used steroid hormone concentrations and testes histology along with morphological measurements of the reproductive organs of males and females to determine the reproductive cycles of the winter and thorny skate in the gulf of maine . most studies on skate to date indicate that they either reproduce year round ( i . e . thorny skate amblyraja radiata in the gulf of maine ) , or have partially defined reproductive cycles with one or two peaks when a greater proportion of the population is reproductively active ( i . e . winter skate leucoraja ocellata in the gulf of maine ) . on the eastern scotian shelf , it appears as if thorny and smooth skate ( malacoraja senta ) are capable of reproduction year round , with thorny skate showing potential peaks in may and october . unfortunately , a lack of mature female winter and little skate ( leucoraja erinacea ) on the ess precluded a determination of their reproductive cycles in this area .
between 2003 and 2005 , there was a direct skate fishery in the gulf of alaska , targeting two of the larger skate species , raja binoculata and r . rhina ( ormseth and matta , 2007a ) . in 2009 , a fishery began in prince william sound in the gulf of alaska ( k . goldman , pers . comm . ) , despite concerns that life - history data available for skate species are insufficient to manage properly a fishery in alaskan waters ( ormseth and matta , 2007b ) . with the re - emergence of a directed fishery for skates in the region , and the potential for expansion of the skate fishery into the eastern bering sea , it has become imperative to estimate life - history parameters for all species in the alaskan skate complex .

the slow growth rate , late maturity and low fecundity make dipturus batis vulnerable to overfishing and it has disappeared from much of its former range due to fishing pressure ( brander ; 1981 ; walker & hislop , 1998 ; jennings et al . 1999 ; rogers & ellis , 2000 ) . only about 40 eggs are laid every other year and each generation takes 11 years to reach maturity , therefore populations cannot recover quickly from large mortalities . it has been estimated that a mortality of greater than 38 % per year will lead to continual decline in the population and recovery is unlikely to occur until mortality is relaxed ( walker & hislop , 1998 ) . numbers of common skate caught in trawls began to decline in the 1920s and again in the 1950s after a recovery period during the second world war and disappeared from the north sea between the mid 1950s and early 1980s ( walker & hislop , 1998 ) . dipturus batis was recorded as ' not uncommon in trawls ' in the marine fauna of the isle of man ( bruce et al . , 1963 ) and was regarded as a common species by hureau & monod ( 1979 ) . however the common skate had become all but extinct by the late 1970s due to overfishing ( brander , 1981 ) . similarly , between 1901 and 1907 , the common skate made up 4 % of all elasmobranchs caught in trawls in southwest england but between 1989 and 1997 none were caught ( rogers & ellis , 2000 ) . therefore an intolerance of high and a recoverability of low has been recorded . the species is highly sensitive to this factor .
skates are commonly taken as bycatch in groundfish trawling , scallop dredging and discarded recreational and foreign landings are currently insignificant , at < 1 % of the total fishery landings . landings in the usa are not reported by species , with over 99 % of the landings reported as
unclassified skates
. skates are retained for the export of skate wings and for utilization as lobster bait . however , wings are taken from winter skate and thorny skate , whereas bait landings are believed to be primarily from little skates . there is no evidence of any directed fishery for the rosette skate with incidental bycatch as the primary threat to the species .

recently , a skate ageing program was undertaken at the bedford institute of oceanography ' s ( bio ) canadian shark research lab ( mcphie and campana 2009a ) .

skates ( family rajidae ) are the most species - rich family of all the chondrichthyes , ( i . e . at least 136 species ) and are the most common batoids encountered in atlantic canada waters . they can be distinguished from other families of batoids by the following characteristics :
recent stock assessment data exist for the ai , ebs , and goa and are based on bottom trawl surveys conducted by the u . s . national marine fisheries service . biomass of the big skate for the entire bsai area ( ebs shelf , ebs slope , ai ) was 1 , 692 t in 2002 , 1 , 373 t in 2004 , 4 , 081 t in 2010 and 1 , 356 t in 2012 ( ormseth 2014a ) . in the goa , the big skate is managed distinctly from the longnose skate ( raja rhina ) and
other skates
. biomass of the big skate across the entire goa has remained relatively stable at ~ 50 , 000 t since the 1990s , but a dramatic decline in biomass of the big skate has been recorded in the central goa since 2003 ( ormseth 2014b ) . despite this area - specific decline the big skate is not considered to be overfished based on goa - wide biomass estimates ( ormseth 2014b ) .

finally , in atlantic canada , in recognition of the potential vulnerability of skate populations to depletion , additional steps are being taken towards skate conservation . department of fisheries and oceans ( dfo ) scientists are currently seeking to better understand more about the life histories and population dynamics of skate species residing in atlantic canada waters , so that each species can be properly managed . more specifically , studies are being conducted on the age and growth , maturity , reproduction , and population viability of a number of skate species residing in waters off newfoundland , in the gulf of st . lawrence , and on the scotian shelf . to learn more about how research on skates is conducted at the bedford institute of oceanography and elsewhere , and for some of the results collected to date , go to the skate research section of this website .
estimates of time from divergence in skate correspond to a period of cooling in the arctic and atlantic oceans approximately 4 ma , which has been hypothesized as contributing to divergence between species of macoma bivalves ( nikula et al . 2007 ) . in the common skate , divergence could have been related to onset of cooler conditions emerging in the arctic at that time , similar to suggestions that divergence in wobbegong sharks in australia was ecologically driven and associated with the occupation of novel habitats ( corrigan & beheregaray 2009 ) . an alternative explanation is that divergence was related to isolation within glacial refugia following the onset of pleistocene ( approx . 2 . 6 ma ) ice sheet expansion ( hewitt 1996 ) , as has been suggested for cryptic bryozoan species in the northeast atlantic ( gomez et al . 2007 ) . the comparatively low mitochondrial dna diversity of the ‘northern’ clade of common skate relative to the ‘southern’ clade is also consistent with reductions of genetic diversity during glacial advances , but distinguishing between these scenarios will require sampling other dipturus species , and resolution of the phylogeny of the sampled dipturus .
. 2008 ) . in british columbia , females reach 50 % maturity at 90 cm tl ( 8 years ) and at 72 cm tl ( 6 years ) for males ( mcfarlane and king 2006 ) . the big skate is oviparous and deposits egg cases on the sea floor that have embryos that develop in 6 to 20 months , depending on water temperature ( hoff 2007 ) . fecundity estimates are difficult to obtain because the big skate is one of only two skates to have more than one embryo per egg case . aquarium observations have shown that the most common number of embryos per egg case is two ( chiquillo
average monthly ( ±s . e . ) marginal increments from sections of vertebral centra with 2–15 growth rings in roughskin skate , dipturus trachyderma , from the southeastern pacific .
common skates are long - lived and slow to mature , factors that make them particularly vulnerable to both direct and accidental targeting by the fishing industry ( 2 ) . during the mid 20th century , skates and rays made up a considerable amount of commercial fishing in the united kingdom ( 6 ) . the population of common skates has seen a drastic decline in european waters following this intensive fishing pressure , making a mockery of its name . although no longer targeted in the majority of areas , as the population is too low , these fish are still threatened by fisheries bycatch ( 2 ) .
the flapper skate occurs over firm ground in coastal shelf waters ( 3 ) , from depths down to 200 metres and occasionally as deep as 600 metres ( 2 ) .
the big skate is found along the western coast of north america , from the gulf of california to the bering sea ( walford 1935 , roedel and ripley 1950 ) .
the broad skate is distributed along the eastern pacific rim from the coast of central america ( panama ) to alaska , and possibly to northern japan ( ebert 2003 ) .
recent discoveries have shown that the common skate is actually made of two more specific species . they are either the blue skate ( dipturus flossada ) or the flapper skate ( dipturus intermedia ) . the d . intermedia takes a while longer to grow in to its full length , but reaches a larger size . the size at 50 % maturity has been reported to be 197 . 5 cm for females and 185 . 5 cm for males . the d . flossada is recorded to be at 122 . 9 cm for females and 115 cm for males . due to the slight difference in size , they are easily confused for one another . the best way to identify the species is through their eye color . the d . intermedia has dark green / olive eyes while the d . flossada has a pale yellow color .
should you find a fresh skate egg case on a beach , perform this simple experiment — it will blow your mind ( and likely freak out squeamish friends and family ) .
most commonly known as thornback ray but as previously mentioned if it has an egg case then it must be a skate . also called a roker and a maiden ray . this egg case is a little smaller than small - eyed skate and of a similar size to spotted skate . like spotted skate the egg case is smooth and neat . it is of also broader in width resulting in a more square shape . the shorter horns add to the somewhat squat appearance . the only records i have are one from streedagh on 16 november 2007 and one from lissadell strand on 12 december 2015 . the adult fish is quite well known to sea anglers in this area with several ‘specimen’ fish having been taken .
justification : this us endemic species is found from nantucket shoals to the dry tortugas , florida with the separation of two sub - species at cape hatteras , north carolina . there is no directed fishery for the rosette skate and it is caught only as incidental bycatch . the species is found at depths of 33 - 530 m and is most common between 74 - 274 m . survey indices from north of cape hatteras have been increasing gradually since 1967 . although catch indices were not available from the southern range of the species there is no reason to believe there is any current threat to the rosette skate throughout its range and it is assessed as least concern .
the common skate is the largest european ray ( 1 ) . the undersurface is dark grey with black spots or stripes and the uppersurface is more of a greenish brown colour ( 3 ) , often with lighter mottling ( 5 ) . the snout is pointed and the flattened body has a rhombic shape with sharp corners ( 4 ) , and slightly concave outer edges to the wings ( 3 ) . there is a row of 12 - 18 thorns along the tail ( 4 ) .
skates were then tagged with either a t - bar or dart - tipped tag , with the size of the tag dependent on the size of the skate . a single tag was inserted dorsally into the fleshy part of the pectoral fin of each skate , towards the posterior end . efforts were made to tag and inject juveniles and adults of each species .

the only reliable names for species are the scientific names ( also often referred to as ‘latin names’ . the common names ( also called english names or vernacular names ) are especially confusing for these fish because they have been inconsistently applied by fishermen , anglers and naturalists in different regions around the coasts of britain and ireland .

in recent decades , there has been growing concern over the fishing pressure placed on elasmobranch populations around the world , because of their relatively slow growth , late maturation , and low fecundity ( dulvy et al . , 2000 ; stevens et al . , 2000 ; dulvy and reynolds , 2002 ) . the barndoor skate , dipturus laevis , in the western north atlantic ( casey and myers , 1998 ) and the common skate , dipturus batis , from the irish sea ( brander , 1981 ) , are frequently cited as examples of skates that are vulnerable to fishing pressure . despite the lack of a directed fishery for skates in the eastern bering sea , skates made up an estimated 51–76 % of the total bycatch in the “other species” category between 1992 and 2005 in alaskan commercial bottom - trawl and longline fisheries ( gaichas et al . , 2005 ) . an increase in skate landings in the eastern north pacific and the development of a directed skate fishery in the gulf of alaska have led to growing interest in the management of skates in this region .
a uk biodiversity action plan ( uk bap ) species , the common skate is the subject of an action plan that aims to stabilise key populations by the year 2004 and allow skates to migrate to areas where they are scarce , by minimising the fishing pressure on the species ( 2 ) . further research on the distribution of the species and the monitoring of life - cycles , growth and so on will also need to be undertaken in order to successfully manage the recovery of this fish ( 2 ) .
the broad skate ( amblyraja badia ) is a moderate - sized deepwater skate known from the continental slopes of the eastern pacific ocean from alaska to panama , and possibly off northern japan . the species appears to be relatively common at depth , mostly below 1 , 000 m and down to at least 2 , 324 m . the species is occasionally taken in deepwater longline and trap fisheries ; however its considerable depth range and preference for rocky reef habitat offer a refuge for this species . given the species ' relatively broad geographic range , absence of fishing pressure throughout much of its preferred habitat , and in the absence of data to indicate population declines , this species is assessed as least concern .
it is not known whether an increase in suspended sediment will have an effect on dipturus batis . not relevant has been recorded because the skate is mobile enough to avoid local adverse effects .

depending on the age of the skate egg you ' ve found , you can sometimes see its head or a devilish tail flicking around . you might even see more than one embryo .
compared to terrestrial and freshwater species , few marine fishes are formally recognized as threatened or endangered . this might be due - in part - to a lingering assumption that marine species occupy greater ranges and are more mobile that terrestrial animals , and that rarity or absence in one area is likely counteracted by high abundance in another . this situation , however , may be changing as more is understood about the marine ecosystems of the world . for example , it was recently recognized that intensive trawling of one of the largest and most common species of skate in the northwest atlantic , the barndoor skate ( dipturus laevis ) , brought about its near extinction , despite this species having a relatively wide distribution . this recognition led the world conservation union ( iucn ) to list the barndoor skate as
endangered
, and the us to prohibit catch of this species until its biomass had recovered from its overfished condition .
