Short description Bestämningsnycklar | Morfologi | Morfometri

Small ray with an almost circular disc and an elongated caudal fin (Ref. 5578). Yellowish-brown above with yellowish patches on upper tail, yellow with brown margins below (Ref. 5578).

Occurs offshore on the shelf; also common on sandy and muddy bottoms at 20-115 m (Ref. 5578). Feeds mainly on polychaetes (Ref. 5578). Males reaches maturity at 18-23 cm TL, females at ca. 23 cm TL (Ref. 114953). Capable of giving a powerful shock (Ref. 5578). Incidental catch of trawlers (Ref. 5578). It is parasitised by the monogenean Electrocotyle whittingtoni in the gills (Ref. 124060).

Estimates based on models

Preferred temperature (Ref. 123201): 12.7 - 20.6, mean 16 °C (based on 22 cells).

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.6252 [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): 3.1 ±0.26 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid 4,5-14 år (Assuming fecundity<100).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): Low to moderate vulnerability (28 of 100).

Price category (Ref. 80766): Unknown.
