The fringed stingray is a marine ray with a flat diamond-shaped body and a long tail with a venomous spine. It lives on sandy or muddy bottoms in the coastal waters of the Atlantic.
The fringed stingray differs from other stingrays by its blunt front edge of the disc and special spine arrangement. It plays an important role in the marine ecosystem, controlling the population of benthic animals and serving as prey for sharks.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
