Etymology: Potamotrygon: Greek, potamos = river + Greek, trygon = a sting ray (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle (1809–1885) was a German physician, anatomist and zoologist whose main subjects were ichthyology and human biology. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Issue
Reproductive biology unknown. A large female weighing some 15 kg gave birth to one pup of 12.5 cm DW, according to Rosa (1985a). Rare in scientific collections, but frequently commercialized by aquarium industry. Highly endemic distribution may render this species as being endangered. Additional references: Bertin (1939), Sérét & McEachran (1986), Compagno & Cook (1995), Rosa & Menezes (1996).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.5000 [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): 3.2 ±0.4 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mycket låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mer än 14 år (Fec =2-3).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100).
