বাস্তুসংস্থান
সামুদ্রিক; ঈষৎ লোনা সমুদতলে ভাসমান বেনথোপেলাজিক; গভীরতার পরিসীমা 0 - 100 m (Ref. 57911), usually 1 - 10 m. Subtropical; 43°N - 42°S, 97°W - 33°W
Western Atlantic: continental waters from Cape Cod to southeastern Florida (?) in the USA; also southern Brazil to Argentina (Ref. 58839). Reported (but not known for certain) from Gulf of Mexico, Florida and Caribbean islands, and northern South America. Often confused with Myliobatis goodei (Ref. 3173).
Length at first maturity / আকৃতি / ওজন / Age
Maturity: Lm 65.0, range 60 - 70 cm
Max length : 129 cm WD পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 49746); common length : 70.0 cm WD পুরুষ/ লিঙ্গ অনিধর্ারিত ; (Ref. 5217)
Disk broad with long sharply pointed wings and projecting snout. Tail very long, Few middorsal spines on disk in adults (Ref. 7251). Greyish, reddish chocolate or dusky brown above. Lower surface either pure white or whitish. Teeth green (Ref. 6902).
Found frequently in coastal waters to 10 m depth, mainly in shallow estuaries. Capable of traveling long distances, occasionally leaps out of the water. Swims in midwater. Cruises slowly over the bottom, rooting out bivalves with its beak and wings when feeding (Ref. 7251). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).
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).
