Some four or five species occur in coastal waters in the Gulf of Guinea area of tropical West Africa ( Stehmann in Quéro et al., 1990: 29–50). Several other species in the family occur offshore in deep water (over 200 m depth) on the continental slope. On average about 10 500 tonnes of Rajiformes are recorded as being caught in the region each year ( FAO, 2000) .
