Found from Uruguayan waters to southern Chile and around Malvinas/Falkland Islands. Around the Malvinas/Falkland Islands the species is a small component in the multispecies skate fishery. There was a gradual decrease in the size of specimens taken in this fishery between 1993 and 1997 although the data were often sparse. Following fishery declines in the early 1990s, the southern area of the Islands was closed to the commercial ray fleet and fishing now only occurs north of 52°S. An assessment of the northern ray population has indicated that the CPUE of A. doellojuradoi has increased from 1992 to 2001. There have been no assessments yet of the population in the southern area of the Islands since the fishery closure and the species may still be subject to bycatch pressure by deepwater teleost trawlers in this area. Documented population trends do not exist for the rest of the species' distribution. It was a regular bycatch of deeper water benthic trawl fisheries targeting Merluccius hubbsi and Dissostichus eleginoides off Argentina however there are no species-specific bycatch estimates available for these fisheries. This species is assessed as Least Concern because it is common and there is no evidence of generalized decline; moreover, there are reports of increases in CPUE over some of the species' range, although the magnitude of these increases is difficult to assess. The expansion of fishing pressure in deeper waters could increase takes of this species as bycatch. Assessor(s): Acuña, E., Bovcon, N., Figueroa, D. & Paesch, L.

In Falkland/Malvinas Islands observer data for the species showed no significant trends in abundance between 1993 and 1997 (Agnew et al. 2000). Mean disc width gradually decreased from 1993 to 1997 although the data were often sparse (Agnew et al. 2000). The Wakeford et al. (2004) assessment of the northern ray population, based on observer data, indicated that the CPUE of A. doellojuradoi increased from 1992 to 2001. Amblyraja doellojuradoi comprised 2.4% of the catch from the northern area of the fishery between 1993 and 2002 (Wakeford et al. 2004) while in 2016 it comprised 3.9% of the total capture weight of 21 fishing vessels (Winter et al., 2015). Population trend: unknown. Habitats and Ecology Amblyraja doellojuradoi is a medium-sized benthic species distributed in deep temperate waters of the continental shelf and slope. It was reported at depths from 51 to 642 m in bottom temperatures ranging from 2.5°C to 6.8°C (Menni and Stehmann 2000), and off Punta Arenas, Chile at 185 m depth and between 105 m and 1640 m around Malvinas/Falklands Islands (Joost Pompert pers. comm. 2017). This species has been recorded from 57 m to 323 m depth over the continental shelf (Laura Paesch and Gustavo Chiaramonte pers comm. 2017). Males mature at 44.8 cm and females at 41.1 cm (Delpiani, 2016). No sexual dimorphism was observed in the total length at maturity at which 50% of individuals were sexually mature. Reproduction might occur throughout the year with peaks in autumn (Delpiani, 2016). Diet is based mainly on crabs and to a lesser extent on polychaetes, teleosts, isopods, and other invertebrates. Ontogenetic diet changes include increased consumption of crabs as animals grow and decreased feeding on polychaetes and other invertebrates (Delpiani et al., 2013). Threats Amblyraja doellojuradoi is a by-cath species of bottom trawl fisheries of Uruguay targeting argentine hake Merluccius hubbsi (Paesch and Lorenzo, 2017). It is also a bycatch species in bottom trawl fisheries of Argentina targeting vertebrates and invertebrates such as the patagonic scallop fishery (Zygochlamys patagonica) (Schejter et al. 2012). It has been captured during fishery-independent investigations on hake and other species in the past (García de la Rosa et al. 1999). Off Argentina, the great depth range of the species offers it some refuge beyond the depth 9 of current fishing pressure, however, especially as fisheries expand into greater depths, there is a need for close monitoring and the collection of species-specific catch and bycatch data where none currently exists.
