Simple Summary Electric rays are currently poorly investigated; therefore, their biological
status, species identification and distribution are often hard to assess. The present work …

Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygonidae) are conspicuous components of the
South American ichthyofauna, and may be regionally important as an economic resource …
