Description Occurrence of shoals of the Javanese cownose ray, Rhinoptera javanica Miiller & Henle in the Gulf of Mannar in the vicinity of Mandapam was reported once
earlier by the author (James, 1962). Since then, no reports of such instances were
made nor the author came across such heavy landings of this species till the 1st of
February 1969 when about 130 rays of the same species were landed by a shore
seine operated at about 3 a.m. (high tide period) at approximately 6 metres depth
off Vedalai in the Gulf of Mannar. The author had opportunity to examine 113
of these specimens, the results of which along with a note on the structure of teeth
in this species are given in this paper.
