Anacanthobatidae (Smooth skates)
Etymology: Anacanthobatis: Greek, ana = up + Greek, akantha = thorn + Greek, batis, -idos = a ray (Ref. 45335).
Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Écologie
marin bathydémersal; profondeur 230 - 322 m (Ref. 5578). Deep-water; 24°S - 30°S, 29°E - 40°E (Ref. 57365)
Western Indian Ocean: known only from southern Mozambique to Durban, South Africa.
Taille / Poids / Âge
Maturity: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm
Max length : 29.0 cm TL mâle / non sexé; (Ref. 95335)
Épines dorsales (Total): 0; Rayons mous dorsaux (Total): 0. A brown-spotted legskate with smooth skin and a short slender tail less than body length; snout angular with tiny filament; pectoral disc with rounded corners; no large thorns on denticles except for alar spines on adult males (Ref. 5578). Legskates have pelvic fins separated into a mobile leg-like front lobe, and a rear lobe that may be fused to the tail base (Ref. 5578). Mottled brown and white with scattered ocelli dorsally; uniform pale ventrally (Ref. 6510). Papillae and rostral filament dark brown (Ref. 6510).
Possibly the smallest southern African skate (Ref. 5578). Found on the upper slope (Ref. 5578).

Estimates based on models
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.6250 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref.
93245).
Niveau trophique (Ref.
69278): 3.6 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Résilience (Ref.
120179): Faible, temps minimum de doublement de population : 4,5 à 14 années (Assuming fecundity<100).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Low vulnerability (19 of 100).
