Dietary data is only available for two extant species of Rhinoptera , R. bonasus (Mitchill, 1815) and R. brasiliensis Müller, 1836 , both of which feed on molluscs (Myers et al., 2007; Last et al., 2016b). That said, Froese and Pauly (2019) assigned TL values to all seven extant species, ranging from 3.2 to 3.8. Members of Rhinoptera live in the benthopelagic zone in the open ocean as well as inshore on the continental shelf, down to a depth of 100 m (Last et al., 2016b).
