“…Among the rajid skates, R. binoculata, R. inornata, R. rhina, Bathyraja albomaculata (Bizzarro et al, 2007), Dipturus lemprieri (Treloar et al, 2007) and D. polyommata (Kyne et al, 2008) showed similar dietary composition as that of O. kenojei, whereas Raja pulchra (Yeon et al, 1999) and D. cerva (Treloar et al, 2007) fed exclusively on crustaceans. Rajid skates consume benthic invertebrates, primarily crustaceans (Ajayi, 1982;Berestovsky, 1989;Ebert et al, 1991;Ellis et al, 1996;Orlov, 1998;Rinewalt et al, 2007;San Martin et al, 2007;Ruocco et al, 2009). However, a few large-bodied skates such as Raja and Dipturus feed more on fish than do the other small-sized skates (Lucifora et al, 2000;Morato et al, 2003;Bizzarro et al, 2007;Robison et al, 2007;Treloar et al, 2007).…”
