Seamount egg‐laying grounds of the deep‐water skate Bathyraja richardsoni
Highly localized concentrations of elasmobranch egg capsules of the deep‐water skate Bathyraja richardsoni were discovered during the first remotely operated vehicle ( ROV ) survey of the Hebrides Terrace Seamount in the Rockall Trough, north‐east Atlantic Ocean.
