With more than 500 species of rays and skates in the world there are far too many that are not found in the waters of New Zealand than can be listed here.

New Zealand is home to several types of stingray, but neither the Southern Stingray or Atlantic Stingray may be found in NZ.

NZ is home to more harmless rays as well, such as the very common Spotted Eagle Ray. But the Bat Ray is not found in NZ waters.

There are at least 7 different types of sawfish, a ray that looks different than most rays, and none are reported to be found in NZ waters.

What is the largest type of ray?

Giant Oceanic Manta Ray The giant oceanic manta ray, giant manta ray, or oceanic manta ray, is a species of ray in the family Mobulidae, and the largest type of ray in the world. They are circumglobal and are typically found in tropical and subtropical waters, but can also be found in temperate waters. Until 2017, giant mantas were classified in the genus Manta, along with the smaller reef manta. DNA testing revealed that both species are more closely related to rays of the genus Mobula than previously thought. As a result, giant mantas were renamed Mobula birostris to reflect the new classification.
