Abstract

         Additional records of the Norwegian skate Dipturus nidarosiensis (Storm, 1881) from the Adriatic Sea are reported. Two specimens were collected in the southern Adriatic Pit in 2008 and 2010, respectively. The records reported herein improve our knowledge on the distribution of a rarely encountered, deep water species D. nidarosiensis, whose presence has only recently been confirmed in the Mediterranean Sea.
