Dasyatis Ushiei
''Dasyatis ushiei'', the cow stingray or Ushi stingray, is a species of stingray known from a single specimen. Based on the single specimen, its range includes at least Mikawa Bay, Aichi Prefecture, middle Japan. Due to the limited knowledge of its biology and extent of capture in fisheries, this species is assessed as Data Deficient in 2007. Molecular data from 2012 has confirmed that this species is a population of the Broad stingray The broad stingray (''Bathytoshia lata''), also known as the brown stingray or Hawaiian stingray, is a species of stingray in the family (biology), family Dasyatidae.

Broad Stingray
The broad stingray (''Bathytoshia lata''), also known as the brown stingray or Hawaiian stingray, is a species of stingray in the family (biology), family Dasyatidae. They range across the Indo-Pacific from southern Africa to Hawaii, and are the predominant species of stingray in the inshore waters of the Hawaiian Islands. This benthic fish also inhabits sandy or muddy flats at depths greater than in the Eastern Atlantic, from southern France to Angola, including the Mediterranean Sea. Usually growing to across, the broad stingray has a wide, diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc with a protruding snout tip and a long tail with a ventral fin fold. At night, this species actively forages for benthic, bottom-dwelling invertebrates and bony fishes, often near the boundaries of reefs. Reproduction is aplacental viviparous. As substantial threats to its population exist in many areas of its wide distribution, IUCN has listed this species as Vulnerable species, Vulnerable. Taxonomy and ph ...

Fish Of The Pacific Ocean
A fish (: fish or fishes) is an aquatic, anamniotic, gill-bearing vertebrate animal with swimming fins and a hard skull, but lacking limbs with digits. Fish can be grouped into the more basal jawless fish and the more common jawed fish, the latter including all living cartilaginous and bony fish, as well as the extinct placoderms and acanthodians. In a break to the long tradition of grouping all fish into a single class (Pisces), modern phylogenetics views fish as a paraphyletic group. Most fish are cold-blooded, their body temperature varying with the surrounding water, though some large active swimmers like white shark and tuna can hold a higher core temperature. Many fish can communicate acoustically with each other, such as during courtship displays. The study of fish is known as ichthyology. The earliest fish appeared during the Cambrian as small filter feeders; they continued to evolve through the Paleozoic, diversifying into many forms. The earliest fi ...
