Urotrygon rogersi, or Rogers' round ray, is a type of marine tropical ray found across the south coastal regions of Central America and some areas of South America. [1] [2]
Not much is known of its biology, except the fact that it feeds on small fish and microcrustaceans, and possesses a venomous spine on its tail. [2] This species can reach a maximum total length of 46 cm, although the common total length is around 37 cm. [2]
This stingray's distribution range stretches from Gulf of California in Mexico to coastal waters of Ecuador. [1] It inhabits shallow inshore waters at depths of 1-30 m. It is also often caught as bycatch in the regions mentioned. [1]
