A brasilian friend send me these pics from a fishing trip

Normally they eat them.

Potamotrygon sp. A from Tocantins/Paraná

Did you have the exact location?

 

[severum1]

They were captured in "rio Paranã-GO". It's a river that is in Góias e Tocantins.

I know they call them "Arraia de Fogo".

They are very beautiful.

They were captured in "rio Paranã-GO".

Getulio Rincon did some research on these rays.

I know they call them "Arraia de Fogo".

Yes, same name as used for henlei.

They are very beautiful.

Yes, stunning rays.
But they grow as large as henlei, 24"-28" diameter.

Awesome looking ray, the gig/pitch fork looks a little painful, poor ray

 

[Kevaldo]

I was reading a news article little while ago...In that the author says that the villagers in Brazil will get 10 times more money if they sell the ray for aquarium trade than for meat...

I would definitely pay good money for that ray. Simply beautiful. Gruesome picture, for sure. What a shame.
