The blonde ray lives in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean, at depths of 10–380m (33–1,247ft).
Description
Like all rays, the blonde ray has a flattened body with broad, wing-like pectoral fins. The body is kite-shaped with a short tail (hence the specific name brachyura, from Ancient Greek words meaning "short tail").
Oviparous, with embryos feeding only on yolk. The females lay about 30 egg-cases between February and November, using shallower coastal waters as nursing-grounds.[6]
Human use
Blonde rays are currently fished for human consumption, with a record weight of 37lb (17kg) recorded in Cobh, Ireland in 2008.[7][8]
