Fanray

It typically grows to a length of 30–50 centimetres (12–20 in) and a weight of 200–500 grams (7.1–17.6 oz), with a brown upperside and a white underside.The species is found in China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Vietnam, and possibly Indonesia, in waters shallower than 100 metres (330 ft).[1] Specimens at Ariake Bay, the most common area the species occurs in, were surveyed from May 2002 to September 2006 for their age, growth, and sexual maturity.The survey revealed that females grow slower than males but achieve a greater total length as an adult.It also determined that in comparison to other related species, the ray grows and matures quickly, and lives for a short amount of time.
