Caliraja rhina, commonly known as the longnose skate, is a species of skate in the family Rajidae from the northeast Pacific. It is found from the eastern Bering Sea and Alaska to Baja California and the Gulf of California. The longnose skate is found at depths of 9–1,069 m (30–3,507 ft) and often deeper than the big skate. The longnose skate was briefly associated with the genus Beringraja, having been previously included in Raja until genetic evidence supported reclassification. It was then reclassified into the new Caliraja genus after an analysis of egg case morphology and the number of embryos per egg case. This issue has not be completely resolved and the scientific names "Raja rhina" and "Beringraja rhina" are still in widespread use.

Description The longnose skate has an elongated snout and deeply notched pelvic fins. Maximum size has been reported as 1.8 m (5.9 ft) in length. Maximum age has been estimated as 25 years in Gulf of Alaska and 26 years in British Columbia. The age estimates are based on counting growth bands in vertebrae, a method which has been validated using bomb radiocarbon.
