Abstract
Skates are one of the most favorite food fishes for Korean people. It is, I think, important to know the biological characteristics of skates for protecting the fishes from the extinction caused by overfishing. Femily Rajidae encompasses about 200 species which is one fourth of elasmobranch fishes, and 11 species known from the Korean waters. But, very few biological characteristics of skates have been known Some of them are shown here and discussed comparing with those of other elasmobranch fishes (sharks and rays) and teleost fishes.
