New Electric Ray Species Discovered in Arabian Sea by Indian Scientists
Scientists from the Zoological Survey of India have discovered a new electric ray species, Tetronarce ramanamurthyi, in the deep waters of the southeastern Arabian Sea. This marks the first confirmed record of the genus Tetronarce in the northern Indian Ocean. The species, named after Deep Ocean Mission director M V Ramana Murthy, was identified using nine specimens collected off India's southwestern coast. The discovery, part of the Ministry of Earth Sciences' Deep Ocean Mission, highlights the region's largely unexplored marine biodiversity.
