Family Narkidae(Sleeper rays). Adult sleeper rays range in size from 8 to 46 cm in length and have flattened oval, circular, or pear-shaped pectoral fin discs. They have naked skin, without dermal denticles or thorns. The snout is moderately elongate and broadly rounded, with the rostal cartilage reduced to a slender medial rod. This distinguishes the narkids from the family Narcinidae, which have somewhat longer snouts supported by broad rostral cartilages. The mouth is straight, very narrow, and not highly protrusible, with strong labial folds and a weak groove around the periphery. The nostrils are placed just forward of the mouth and are connected to it by a broad nasoral groove. There are a pair of large kidney-shaped electric organs at the base of the pectoral fins, visible through the skin. The genera Heteronarce and Electrolux have two large dorsal fins, Narke, Crassinarke, and Typhlonarke have a single dorsal fin, and Temera has none. No other group of electric rays have genera with a variable number of dorsal fins. The tail is moderately long, with a large, rounded, symmetrical caudal fin. The color is usually brown or reddish brown above, white or brownish below. There may be spots, blotches, or bands on the dorsal surface, but most species lack complex color patterns or ocelli. Sleeper rays are bottom-dwelling, slow-moving fishes often found on soft mud or sand. From those species that have been examined, their diet may be restricted to small, soft-bodied, bottom invertebrates, such as polychaete worms. They can generate a strong electric shock as a defense mechanism. Reproduction is ovoviviparous, with eggs hatching inside the mother. |
