Pateobatis jenkinsii (Annandale, 1909)
Jenkins' whipray, 130.0cm

While waiting between dives at Pura Segara we watched some fishermen haul in this fairly large stingray. This was from a line carried out by boat and dropped in deep water on the sandy slope. The other end of the line is then brought back to shore and tied to some sort of bell to warn the fishermen when the bait has been taken. We were told that they were mostly fishing for sharks.
