Skate \Skate\, n. [Icel. skata; cf. Prov. G. schatten,       meer-schatten, L. squatus, squatina, and E. shad.] (Zo[94]l.)       Any one of numerous species of large, flat elasmobranch       fishes of the genus {Raia}, having a long, slender tail,       terminated by a small caudal fin. The pectoral fins, which       are large and broad and united to the sides of the body and       head, give a somewhat rhombic form to these fishes. The skin       is more or less spinose.          Note: Some of the species are used for food, as the European                blue or gray skate ({Raia batis}), which sometimes                weighs nearly 200 pounds. The American smooth, or                barn-door, skate ({R. l[91]vis}) is also a large                species, often becoming three or four feet across. The                common spiny skate ({R. erinacea}) is much smaller.          {Skate's egg}. See {Sea purse}.          {Skate sucker}, any marine leech of the genus {Pontobdella},             parasitic on skates.
