Spotted eagle ray  (Aetobatus narinari)

Threats

Little data is available on spotted eagle ray populations. However, this species is accidentally caught as bycatch in non-target fisheries over much of its range (1).

Conservation

Further research into population densities and distribution is needed before the precise threats to this species can be assessed and the appropriate conservation action adopted (1).
