Abstract

Large-bodied pelagic eagle rays are known to use benthic environments to obtain food. However, resting events are not reported for species in the family Aetobatidae and are primarily associated with benthic stingrays. An observation of a whitespotted eagle ray (Aetobatus narinari) resting at an offshore coral reef atoll in Belize, described here, contributes to our limited understanding of pelagic eagle ray behaviour and habitat use.

静息的白斑鹰雷埃托巴图斯（Aetobatidae）

摘要

众所周知，大型上层鹰会利用底栖环境来获取食物。但是，尚没有关于科科昆虫科的静息事件的报道，而静息事件主要与底栖黄貂鱼有关。这里描述的在伯利兹的一个近海珊瑚礁环礁上观察到的白点鹰射线（Aetobatus narinari）的观察，有助于我们对中上层鹰射线的行为和栖息地使用的了解有限。
