Description
Size (length and weight)
Round stingrays are commonly seen with a disc width of 25.4 centimeters (10 inches) or less and an average sized ray usually has a spine that is 2.5-3.8 cm (1-1.5 in) long. Maximum body length is 58 centimeters (22 inches) and disc width is 31 centimeters (12.1 inches).
The smallest West African stingray, this species grows to 30 cm (12 in) across and a weight of 1 kg (2.2 lb). The pearl stingray differs from the daisy stingray in being much smaller, and having a relatively smaller, oval pearl spine, more tooth rows, and fewer pectoral fin radials (113–127 versus 129–136).
