Hookskate
Dactylobatus clarkii
Dactylobatus clarkii, Clark's fingerskate or the hookskate, "is a medium-sized (to 75 cm TL) but poorly known, deepwater skate." The distribution of the hookskate is considered patchy and covers the western central and southwest Atlantic, including the east coast of Florida (USA), throughout the Gulf of Mexico (Guatemala, Lesser Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela and Suriname), and off Rio Grande do Sul (southern Brazil).
