Scientists Document Large Eagle Ray Gathering Off Malta
CATCH ME UP
Scientists documented between 100 and 150 common eagle rays around a tuna farm off Malta.
A published study described the gathering as the largest aggregation of its kind.
Researchers used a remotely operated vehicle to record the rays feeding beneath the cages.
The study said the fish were feeding on leftover food fish accumulated below the farm.
Why it mattersThe sighting signals an unusual wildlife aggregation that could matter for marine behavior research and tuna-farm interactions.
More context
The report said the species is vulnerable and that predictable concentrations could create conservation concerns.

More than 100 eagle rays gathered around a tuna farm off Malta; scientists say it is the largest aggregat
Quick source take
The Times of India reports that scientists documented an unprecedented gathering of between 100 and 150 common eagle rays around a tuna farm off the coast of Malta. According to a published study, the researchers used a remotely operated vehicle to capture footage of the vulnerable species feeding on accumulated leftover food fish beneath the cages. The report highlights that while the gathering provides new insights into marine wildlife behavior near aquaculture sites, it also raises conservation concerns regarding potential risks from predictable concentrations.
