The electric rays are a group of rays, flattened cartilaginous fish with enlarged pectoral fins, composing the order Torpediniformes / t ɔːr ˈ p ɛ d ɪ n ɪ f ɔːr m iː z /. They are known for being capable of producing an electric discharge , ranging from 8 to 220 volts , depending on species, used to stun prey and for defense. [ 2 ]

Torpedo is a genus of rays, commonly known as electric rays, torpedo rays, or torpedoes. They are slow-moving bottom-dwellers capable of generating electricity as a defense and feeding mechanism.

The common torpedo (Torpedo torpedo), also known as ocellate torpedo or eyed electric ray, is a species of electric ray in the family Torpedinidae. It is found in the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean from the Bay of Biscay to Angola, and is a benthic fish typically encountered over soft substrates in fairly shallow, coastal waters.

Electric ray, any of the rays of the families Torpedinidae, Narkidae, Narcinidae, and Hypnidae, named for their ability to produce electrical shocks. They are found worldwide in warm and temperate waters.

Large Atlantic torpedo rays can generate enough power to produce a shock of about 220 volts, while smaller rays, like the lesser electric ray (Narcine brasiliensis) can only muster a shock of about 37 volts.

Atlantic Torpedo Ray is the largest known electric ray. It is capable of generating up to 220 volts of electricity. Because of its electric properties, the Atlantic Torpedo Ray was used in medicine by the Ancient Greeks and Romans and became the namesake of the naval weapon, the torpedo.

Equipped with electric organs, this ray is an advanced ambush predator whose mottled skin color renders it nearly invisible to unsuspecting eyes. Marbled electric rays are commonly found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean bordering Africa up to Norway, as well as parts of the Mediterranean Sea.

2024年1月1日 · Torpedo californica. This solitary coastal ray has a very round pectoral disc, and a tall dorsal fin near its large caudal fin on a stocky tail. It is a dark gray above, often with irregular dark spots, and pale white below, with the males growing to 36 inches long and females growing to almost 54 inches.

Tetronarce californica also known as the Pacific electric ray is a species of electric ray in the family Torpedinidae, endemic to the coastal waters of the northeastern Pacific Ocean from Baja California to British Columbia.
