Scaly Whipray
The ''scaly whipray'' or Bengal whipray, (''Brevitrygon imbricata'') is a species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific oceans from the Red Sea and Mauritius to Indonesia. Its width is up to , and it may reach in total length. The scaly whipray is found in inshore coastal waters, typically in estuarine habitats. Some uncertainty exists over the details of its habitat preference and full range due to confusion with the very similar '' Brevitrygon walga'', and reports from Tonlé Sap ("Great Lake") possibly refer to '' Hemitrygon laosensis''. The disc width of the scaly whipray is equal to its disc length, and the tail is shorter than the body. The ventral surface of the disc is entirely white. Young and adults feed on benthic invertebrates, and juveniles may be present in mangroves. They migrate between saltwater and freshwater, though not for the purpose of breeding. They do not migrate more than . Reproduction is ovoviviparous O ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Himantura
''Himantura'' is a genus of stingray in the family (biology), family Dasyatidae that is native to the Indo-Pacific. In a 2016 Taxonomy (biology), taxonomic revision, many of the species formerly assigned to ''Himantura'' were reassigned to other genera (''Brevitrygon'', ''Fluvitrygon'', ''Maculabatis'', ''Pateobatis'', ''Styracura'' and ''Urogymnus''). Species Twelve extant species are currently recognized as valid, formerly four or five species. * ''Himantura alcockii'' (Nelson Annandale, Annandale, 1909) (Pale-spot whip ray) * ''Himantura australis'' (Peter R.

Brevitrygon Walga
''Brevitrygon walga'', the dwarf whipray or mangrove whipray, is a small stingray, a cartilaginous fish in the family Dasyatidae. It is a demersal fish and is found over the continental and insular shelf of the west central Pacific Ocean where it is heavily fished. The IUCN has assessed it as being "near-threatened". Description The dwarf whipray has a maximum length of . The disc width is commonly about . In outline it is oval with a bluntly-pointed snout. The whip-like tail is longer than the body and lacks the skin fold found in some related species. Females have a shorter tail than males, with a bulbous tip, and both sexes have four to six erectile, venomous spines at the base of the tail. The dwarf whipray is a uniform pinkish or beige colour and has been mistaken for a horseshoe crab in turbid water. Distribution and habitat The dwarf whipray is found in the western central Pacific Ocean. Its range extends from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam to Singapore, Malaysia, the Phi ...

Brevitrygon Manjajiae
''Brevitrygon manjajiae'', the sandwich-tail whipray, is a type of tropical ray of the family Dasyatidae found in Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea, north-west of Indian Ocean. It lives in the maximum depth of in general. This species is often deliberately targeted by local trawlers. In Persian Gulf area, it is considered a low-value catch and usually discarded. In contrast, it is a delicacy and sold locally in Indian seafood markets. Description The sandwich-tail whipray has several characteristics, including oval disc, small orbits, relatively short tail with ridge-like ventral fold, relatively small pelvic fins, and predominantly brownish dorsal surface. This species is at least disc width and might reach disc width. Habitat & distribution The sandwich-tail whipray inhabits the continental shelf across its distribution range at the depths of , and to in Gulf of Oman.
