R-Ray Fish

The largest group of cartilaginous fishes characterized by flattened, disk like bodies with five gill openings and the mouth generally located on the underside. Rays are predominantly marine and are found in all oceans.

There are over 600 species of rays, and they can be classified into electric rays, sawfishes, skates, and stingrays. There are only two freshwater species in Africa: the pincushion ray (Dasyatis ukpam), found in the rivers and lakes of West and Middle Africa and the Niger stingray (Dasyatis garouaensis), native to rivers in Nigeria and Cameroon. Both are commercially sold for human consumption.

Rays are an important part of the marine ecosystem and help to keep populations of other animals in check.
