Etymology: Brevitrygon: Derived from brevis (Latin), meaning short and trygṓn (Greek τρυγών),
meaning stingray, in allusion to the short, semi-rigid tails of these stingrays; walga: Name is presumably a variant spelling of wolga, from Wolga Tenkée, a local name
for this or a related stingray from the Ganges Delta of India..

marinhas; estuarina demersal; intervalo de profundidade 0 - 40 m (Ref. 121773). Tropical; 30°N - 10°N, 34°E - 76°E

Length at first maturity / Tamanho / Peso / Idade
Maturity: Lm 16.7 range ? - ? cm
Max length : 20.3 cm WD macho/indeterminado; (Ref. 130662); 23.3 cm WD (female)
Demersal on insular and continental shelves, and occasionally found in coastal embayments (Ref. 58048); primarily in shallow water from near the shore in estuaries to nearby fishing grounds in bays (Ref. 130662). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449). Caught in large quantities as by-catch of bottom trawl and trammel net fisheries. Utilized for its meat, but of limited value due to its very small size (Ref.58048).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturities | Reprodução | Spawnings | Egg(s) | Fecundities | Larvas
Ovoviviparous (Ref. 205), with histotrophy. Gives birth to litters of 1-2 pups; no reproductive synchronicity. Born at 8-10 cm WD (Ref.58048). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).
