Atlantoraja
Atlantoraja is a genus of skates in the family Arhynchobatidae. They are found from near sea level to depths of 300 metres (980 ft) in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. These fish are all considered threatened due to the intense fishing pressure within their range.

gollark: Unused tabs don't occupy much RAM, and I enabled the setting to keep tabs when I open and close it, so it works nicely.
gollark: Well, because I inconsistently jump around between various things, and use tabs as markers of "look at this at some point".
gollark: Big difference.
