Rhinoptera javanica Muller & Henle from Kenya waters (pisces : Rhinopteridae).
Rays of the family Rhinopteridae, commonly known as cow or bull rays, are rare in East African waters. Few are caught and none have been recorded previously by the East African Marine Fisheries Research Organization in Zanzibar. It was therefore of interest when two specimens of Rhinoptera javanica Muller & Henle were caught in a shark tangle-net set at the edge of a coral reef off Kikambala, Mombasa district, in March 1965. One of these specimens was purchased and is described below.
