Torpedo torpedo

Sighting evidence at Marathonisi (Turtle Island), Zakynthos

Torpedo rays rest on sandy patches and seagrass beds around Marathonisi, partially burying themselves by day. They produce powerful electric discharges when disturbed, so respectful distance is essential — they are nonetheless a highlight of any dive here.

How is this calculated?

Sighting evidence is compiled from iNaturalist observation records within a set proximity radius, filtered for quality-grade observations. “Last confirmed” is the date of the most recent research-grade record. Record count covers a rolling 24-month window. Confidence reflects record count, recency, and consistency of seasonal signal.
