Description The Ornate Skate (Okamejei ornata) is endemic to the Arabian Seas region, where it is only known from
10 specimens caught around the Socotra Islands (Yemen). It occurs on the upper continental slope at
depths of 375-390 m, reaches at least 51 cm total length (TL), but virtually nothing is known of its
biology. Despite being recorded from only a limited number of specimens, there are currently no known
threats to this species since deep-sea fisheries do not operate within its known depth range, and it is
therefore assessed as Least Concern. Further information is required on its life history, population size,
and geographic and depth range.
