About the little skate
Species of cartilaginous fish
The little skate is a species of skate in the family Rajidae, found from Nova Scotia to North Carolina on sand or gravel habitats. They are one of the dominant members of the demersal fish community in the northwestern Atlantic. This species is of minimal commercial importance and is mainly used as bait for lobster traps, though its wings are also marketed for food. It is also important as a model organism for biological and medical research.
