Description
Native to the coasts of California and Mexico, the shovelnose guitarfish is considered to be a primitive ray, because it has features of both sharks and rays. It was at first classified as a shark because of the shape of its dorsal fin. It is listed as "near threatened" by the IUCN, mostly due to overfishing for artisanal fish markets and recreational anglers.
