Matt Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 Inconclusive although I reckon it will be one off the larger species as I'd think if it's one of the smaller rays it woul exhibit more of its adult traits for its size Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
great white Posted February 7, 2020 Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 small spotted are very clearly marked, so I would think that one is out http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/smalleyedray.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/cuckooray.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/blonderay.html http://www.uk-fish.info/pages/spottedray.html above links are from the aquarium project, helped a lot by pictures taken by Steve Porter Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve S Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Always difficult to id the babies when we base our id info on adults. Come on Steve, go catch bigger ones and leave the babies alone! lofty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coddy Posted February 14, 2020 Report Share Posted February 14, 2020 Looking at your top picture and the spines on the tail I would suggest Spotted Ray. I looked at the Shark Trust site https://www.sharktrust.org/Handlers/Download.ashx?IDMF=94352e39-167a-471d-8bc5-a5f9e9cff5fe Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Thomas Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Small eyed, spines are correct. Cuckoo has black background with cream spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
