For the first time in the island’s history, a new stingray species has settled in Bermuda, according to a study by overseas scientists working with local researchers, fisheries staff and ordinary citizens.
An article in Frontiers in Fish Science states that the migration to Bermuda of the Atlantic cownose ray, Rhinoptera bonasus, which feeds on clams and crustaceans, could have been prompted by shifting wind patterns as well as heightened tropical storm activity in the region. |
