Pelagic stingray
The pelagic stingray is a ray that lives in the open ocean rather than on the sea floor, which sets it apart from almost all other stingrays. It is found in warm waters around much of the world. It can give a severe sting with its tail spine, so it matters most to people who work on fishing boats.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- The pectoral fin disc is a thick, wedge-shaped wing that is about one-third wider than it is long.1
- It is a plain dark purple to blue-green above, with a slightly lighter shade below.1
- The tail is whip-like, up to twice as long as the disc, with an extremely long, serrated spine about a third to halfway along it.1
- Young rays are smooth-skinned, and small prickles and thorns appear with age.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
The venom is on the tail spine and is quite potent, which is why other fishes avoid it.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: MbayaKudungwa kunahitaji daktari. Vifo ni nadra sana.It is rarely encountered except by fishery workers. Its tail spine can inflict a severe wound that can be fatal.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
When captured and handled, it releases a thick black mucus that covers its body, and its tail spine delivers venom.1
Akidunga
- Weka jeraha kwenye maji ya moto, moto kiasi ambacho mtu anaweza kuvumilia bila kuungua (pima kwanza kwa mkono wako), kwa dakika 30 hadi 90. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu, hasa kwa samaki-jiwe na taa.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
It is the only stingray that almost exclusively lives in the open ocean rather than on the sea floor.1
Instead of rippling the edges of its disc like other stingrays, it swims by flapping its pectoral fins, similar to eagle rays.1
Both sexes have pointed teeth, which is unusual among stingrays. Only the teeth of adult males are longer and sharper.1
Females can store sperm inside their bodies for more than a year, waiting for good conditions before their young develop.1
A captive female reached 94 cm across and 49 kg, the largest individual on record from a rearing experiment.1
Oceanic whitetip sharks, great white sharks and toothed whales prey on it.1
