Short description Morphology | Morphometrics

This large shovelnose ray is distinguished by the following characters: suboval disc, short and broadly rounded snout with nostrils partly covered with a large nasal curtain; ridges of small thorns present on mid-line of disc and shoulders; behind interorbital space is an ornate pattern of dark-edged bands without the distinct triangular or diamond-shaped marking (Ref. 114953).

Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic)

A benthic species that occurs on continental shelf, mainly found on soft bottoms and seagrasses. Feeds on bottom crustaceans, worms, molluscs and small fishes. Produces litters of 2-5 pups. Maturity size of males at ca. 70 cm TL, females at 89 cm TL; birth size at 21-25 cm TL (Ref. 114953).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804):  PD50 = 0.6250   [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00646 (0.00300 - 0.01391), b=2.98 (2.78 - 3.18), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this species & (Sub)family-body (Ref. 93245).
Trophic level (Ref. 69278):  3.7   ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resilience (Ref. 120179):  Medium, minimum population doubling time 1.4 - 4.4 years (Preliminary K or Fecundity.).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153):  Very high vulnerability (88 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref. 124155):  Calcium = 19.7 [4.0, 90.7] mg/100g; Iron = 0.678 [0.174, 1.975] mg/100g; Protein = 19.4 [17.3, 21.3] %; Omega3 = 0.225 [0.101, 0.486] g/100g; Selenium = 31.6 [9.1, 86.6] μg/100g; VitaminA = 6.08 [2.13, 16.80] μg/100g; Zinc = 0.499 [0.251, 0.904] mg/100g (wet weight);
