Etymology: Bathyraja: Greek, bathys = deep + Latin, raja, -ae = a ray (Raja sp) (Ref. 45335).

Issue
The large sequence divergences among B. eatonii from the Kerguelen Plateau and from the South Atlantic-Ross Sea provide evidence for two species in these regions. The species, referred to as Bathyraja sp. (cf. eatonii) from the Antarctic continental shelf and slope is a species distinct from B. eatonii. from the Kerguelen Plateau (the type locality) and thus is a new and undescribed species until it is formally described and named (Ref. 93260).

seewasser demersal. Polar; 48°S - 78°S, 180°W - 180°E
Southern Ocean: common on the Kerguelen Plateau, around South Orkney and South Shetland islands. In the Antarctic Peninsula, it occurs in the northeastern Weddell Sea and on Gunnerus Ridge. A single record comes from the Pacific Ocean sector, in the Ross Sea. Southeast Pacific: Chile (Ref. 9068).

Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205).
