Description
Thornback ray (Raja clavata) is a marine ray found in waters near coastal Europe and western Africa. Its meat is sold both fresh and frozen, and in locations such as the firth between Scotland and England, its populations are being threatened by overfishing. The back of this unique-looking ray is covered in thorn-like spines, and they find their prey through electrical senses that can detect muscle contractions in nearby animals.
