Blackchin guitarfish — size comparison — facts and sources
The blackchin guitarfish inhabits the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean. It lives near sandy or muddy bottoms in marine and brackish waters. Its pectoral fins form a broad front body, followed by a powerful, shark-like tail.
Large, widely spaced dorsal fins and a long snout create its distinctive outline. It finds crustaceans, molluscs and small fish near the bottom. Colouring helps conceal it against the substrate while resting.
