Javan Whipray

Brevitrygon javaensis

Group: Ray
Max size: 21.2 cm
For divers: safe
IUCN status: EN

This small whipray lives on soft bottoms in shallow inshore waters near mangroves, often close to crowded coastlines that put it within easy reach of fishers. Pups are born just five to nine centimetres across, and heavy fishing pressure has left the species endangered.
