Fish Mortality
 
Description Mass mortality of stingrays was
observed at Mankeshwar Beach
near Kharkhand village, Uran, District
Raigad on 22-08-2010. About 100 –
150 fishes were reported to have
stranded in rocky embankments of the
intertidal zone. These ‘bundh’ like
structures of stones are about 1 to
1.5 m in height, which is used by the
local fishermen to fix nets to catch fishes
during tidal movement. The species was
identified as Himantura uarnak, (Forsskål
1775) commonly called ‘Honeycomb
sting ray’.
