Panay Skate

Okamejei panayensis has been found in the waters off the South China Sea near Iloila, Philippines, close to the Philippine Rise. This area is on a continental ridge, with muddy sediment, inland bays and wide tidal flats where other Rajidae species are known to reside and spawn.

Pelagic food sources such as squid, krill, shrimp, crustaceans, shelled mollusks, and other benthic invertebrates are typically eaten by demersal elasmobranchs like O. panayensis, indicating that this species likely has an equivalent diet.
