Jensen's skate (Amblyraja jenseni), also known as the shorttail skate, is a rare deep-sea skate typically found in the North Atlantic Ocean. The skate is named in honor of Danish zoologist Adolf Severin Jensen (1866–1953), of Lund University, for his contributions to the ichthyology of the North Atlantic Ocean.
