Summary:Beringraja binoculata (Girard, 1855). Big Skate. To 244 cm (96 in) TL (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983). Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, at least as far west as Unalaska Island, to eastern Gulf of Alaska (Mecklenburg et al. 2002), to Cabo Falsa (22°54’N, 110°02’W), southern Baja California (Castro-Aguirre et al. 1993), and Gulf of California (Castro-Aguirre and Espinosa Pérez 1996). Benthic; depth: 2 m (5 ft) or less to at least 501 m (1,643 ft) (min.: Miller et al. 1980; max.: Farrugia et al. 2016). Reported, but not confirmed, to 523 m (1,715 ft) (NWFSC-FRAM). The often-cited deeper maximum depth of 800 m (2,624 ft) (e.g., Allen and Smith 1988) lacks documentation and should not be cited (Farrugia et al. 2016).
