Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range Ecology Marine; pelagic-oceanic; depth range 0 - 50 m (Ref. 106604 ). Tropical Distribution Countries | FAO areas | Ecosystems | Occurrences | Point map | Introductions | Faunafri Indo-West Pacific: eastern coast of Africa to Indonesia. Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age Maturity: L m   ? , range 115 - ? cm Max length : 119 cm WD male/unsexed; (Ref. 11441 ); 120.0 cm WD (female); max. published weight: 30.0 kg (Ref. 11228 ) Short description Morphology | Morphometrics A small devilray with a short head bearing short head fins; dorsal fin white-tipped, and pectoral fins with slightly curved tips; upper surface with no denticles and tail shorter than disc, with no spine (Ref. 5578 ). Dark brown above, white below (Ref. 5578 ). Biology     Glossary (e.g. epibenthic) Found in coastal and oceanic waters (Ref. 5578 ). Feeds on plankton (Ref. 30573 ). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449 ). Generally found in schools, leaping out of the water (Ref. 11228 ). Caught rarely in the tuna gillnet fisheries. Utilized for its gill filter plates (high value), meat, cartilage and skin (Ref.58048). Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449 ). Probably giving birth to only one pup; born at ~31 cm WD (Ref.58048). Main reference Upload your references | References | Coordinator | Collaborators Randall, J.E. , 1995. Coastal fishes of Oman.

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804 ):  PD 50 = 0.5005   [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 ). Trophic level (Ref. 69278 ):  3.4   ±0.45 se; based on food items. Resilience (Ref. 120179 ):  Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Fec assumed to be <100). Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153 ):  Very high vulnerability (85 of 100). Price category (Ref. 80766 ):   Medium .
