The common eagle ray was found to have lower mercury concentrations (0.67-1.01 mg/kg) than Chimaera monstrosa or Torpedo nobiliana. This is likely due to its diet as both the other two species feed on higher trophic levels (compared to the invertebrates that make up this eagle ray's diet).
The Southern eagle ray (Myliobatis goodei), sometimes known as the Southern eagle fish or the rockfish, [2] is a ray species in the family Myliobatidae.It lives in waters just off of the Atlantic coast, from the tip of Florida down to Argentina, inhabiting estuaries or bays to give birth during spring and summer and migrating to the open sea in autumn and winter.
