Raja ackleyi ornata Garman, 1881 (preoccupied) The Rosette skate (Leucoraja garmani) is an abundant mid-depth skate.
The skate is named in honor of American ichthyologist-herpetologist Samuel Garman (1843‒1927), of Harvard University.
[2] The Rosette Skate is typically found at depths between 33 and 530 meters (110 and 1,740 ft).
[1][3] At the extremes on the United States Atlantic Coast specimens have been found as far north as the Nantucket Shoals and as far south as the Dry Tortugas.
[3] Based on reported bycatch rates and population observances, there is no evidence to support concern of the Rosette Skate.
