Elasmobranchii (hajar och rockor) (sharks and rays) > Myliobatiformes (Stingrays) > Potamotrygonidae (River stingrays) > Potamotrygoninae
Etymology: Plesiotrygon: Greek, plesios = near + Greek, trygon = a sting ray (Ref. 45335); iwamae: Named in honor of the late Brazilian zoologist Satoko Iwama (Ref. 34195).

Issue
Food items consist of fishes (e.g. catfishes), insects, crustaceans and nematodes (Rosa et al., 1987). Nothing is known of its reproductive biology, but pups are free-swimming at least by 12 cm DL. Recent references: Barriga (1991), Wilkens & Dohse (1993), Compagno & Cook (1995), Lovejoy (1996).

Estimates based on models

Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804): PD₅₀ = 0.7500 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].

Bayesian length-weight: a=0.01000 (0.00244 - 0.04107), b=3.04 (2.81 - 3.27), in cm total length, based on all LWR estimates for this body shape (Ref. 93245).

Trofisk nivå (Ref. 69278): 3.4 ±0.46 se; based on food items.

Resiliens (Ref. 120179): Mycket låg, lägsta populationsfördubblingstid mer än 14 år (Assuming Fec<10).

Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153): High vulnerability (58 of 100).
