Acroteriobatus omanensis, the Oman guitarfish, is a type of guitarfish of the family Rhinobatidae found in Gulf of Oman and Arabian Sea.[1][2] There has only been a handful of specimens discovered in fish landings in Muscat.[2] Therefore, its population and potential threats are not specifically known to scientists.[2][1]
Description[edit]
The Oman guitarfish differs from its congeners by its dense pattern of small, symmetrical arrangement of ocelli (each consisting of a white spot surrounded by a darker rim) and very narrowly pointed nose.[2] This small guitarfish can reach 60 cm in total length.[2]
Habitat and distribution[edit]
The Oman guitarfish inhabits the sedimentary subtidal zone at depths of up to 100 m (328 ft). It is thought to occur in muddy and sandy area of the sea floor.[1][2]
The population of this species is still poorly known due to the lack of fisheries data and specimens collected.[1] However, guitarfish is generally prone to overfishing and housing/urban area expansion (especially land reclamation).[1]
