Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

This small, blue-spotted stingray is distinguished by the following characters: absence of a pair of blue longitudinal stripes along the sides of the tail; uniformly pale ventral fold; absence of the dorsal fold but upper margin of tail with a firm, blunt ridge; a relatively short post-orbital disc (length from rear of orbit to pectoral-fin insertion 63-65% WD), with a relatively long horizontal snout length (20-21% DW) and prenasal length 14-16% DW, and prenasal length 1.5-1.9 times internasal width (Ref. 110363).

This species probably occur mainly inshore, with types collected from surge channels in fringing coral reefs, to at least 18 m depth (Ref. 110363)..

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=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm Total Length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.6 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
