FBname: Eaton's skate
Remark: The large sequence divergences among <i>B. eatonii</i> from the Kerguelen Plateau and from the South Atlantic-Ross Sea provide evidence for two species in these regions. The species, referred to as <i>Bathyraja</i> sp. (<i>cf. eatonii</i>) from the Antarctic continental shelf and slope is a species distinct from <i>B. eatonii</i>. from the Kerguelen Plateau (the type locality) and  thus is a new and undescribed species until it is formally described and named (Ref. 93260).
Comments: Oviparous (Ref. 50449).  Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
