Abstract

A number of species of rays are of commercial importance at several places
along the Indian Coast, forming popular food of the conmion man.
They are consumed both in the fresh and cured states. Although the meat
is generally considered to be of a low quality, for which reason it is sold very
cheap, the flesh of certain species (e.g., Aetobatus narinari) is esteemed as a
delicacy.
