What is it about?
Myliobatis goodei and M. ridens co-occur in the same area and period. The incidence of pregnant females in Southern Brazil in spring-summer coincides with the small-scale beach artisanal fisheries season peak, when both species suffer fishing mortality, while using the coastal shallow areas to give birth.
