| Order: Rajiformes Family: Rajidae Genus: Amblyraja Malm, 1877 Amblyraja radiata (Donovan, 1808) En: Thorny skate - Du: Sterrog |
Rare species in the Dutch North Sea region (Nijssen & de Groot, 1987, p. 66). During the last decades A. radiata has not been recorded anymore and is now considered to be no longer part of the Dutch fauna (Nijssen, 2001, p. 42). Today egg-capsules of A. radiata are less regularly found on the Dutch beaches (Bor, 1998, p. 37).
Fisheries data:
