Devil rays are very large tropical ray species that can reach up 17 feet in wing span and weigh more than a ton.
They are second in size only to manta rays.
In recent decades, these species have been facing increasing threats driven by unsustainable target and bycatch fisheries, seeking to supply the international demand for their dried gill plates in Chinese medicine.
Growing awareness and concern for the survival of these species resulted in some level of international protection.
However, further work is required.
