Fish Name : Narcine lingula
Max size : 33.0 cm TL (male/unsexed; Ref. 9912)

Global Importance :
Resilience: Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundityDistribution : Indo-West Pacific: India to China and off Cambodia (Ref. 9912). Conservation status maybe of concern in Northwest Pacific because of its inshore benthic habitat, low abudance, and the presence of intensive demersal fisheries (Ref. 47737).
Diagnosis : Preorbital length about equal to preoral length (and much greater than prenasal length), and dark brown spots that are usually greater than eye diameter over a brown background (Ref. 49866).
Biology : Found in continental waters, both inshore and offshore (Ref. 9912). Biology little known (Ref. 9912)
