Benthobatis yangi

Benthobatis yangi, the Taiwanese blind electric ray, is a species of fish in the family Narcinidae endemic to marine ecosystems near Taiwan.

Both dorsal and ventral surfaces are dark brown to purplish-black, with irregular whitish blotches on the belly.

[2] B. yangi appears to have a very limited distribution on continental shelves at a depth of less than 300 m, on the coast of southwestern Taiwan (especially off Tungkang).

[citation needed] B. yangi is not a target of fisheries but appears to be taken (and discarded) as bycatch in the shrimp fishing industry.

Shrimp fishing in the region makes use of very fine nets that likely prevent this species from avoiding capture.
