Descrição suscinta
Morfologia | Morfometria
Vértebras: 108 - 122. Diagnosis: Dasyatis ukpam is a very large and thick-bodied freshwater dasyatid (Ref. 26277). Entire dorsal surface of disc covered with stout-spined denticles, smooth in newborn (Ref. 26277). Sting greatly reduced in size or absent (Ref. 26277).
Benthic species mostly in lakes and rives, found more than 240 km upstream from the sea (possibly also coastal). The life history and present status of populations in West Africa is unknown. Type specimens were born after capture of the mother; few specimens exist (Ref. 114953). Ovoviviparous (Ref. 50449).
Ciclo de vida ou comportamento de acasalamento
Maturidade | Reprodução | Desova | Ovos | Fecundidade | Larvas
Exhibit ovoviparity (aplacental viviparity), with embryos feeding initially on yolk, then receiving additional nourishment from the mother by indirect absorption of uterine fluid enriched with mucus, fat or protein through specialised structures (Ref. 50449). Distinct pairing with embrace (Ref. 205).

Estimates based on models
Índice de diversidade filogenética (Ref.
82804): PD
50 = 0.5156 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high].
Bayesian length-weight: a=0.00832 (0.00366 - 0.01891), b=3.10 (2.90 - 3.30), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this (Sub)family-body shape (Ref.
93245).
Nível Trófico (Ref.
69278): 3.7 ±0.3 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives
Resiliência (Ref.
120179): Muito baixo(a), tempo mínimo de duplicação da população maior que 14 anos (Assuming Fec<10).
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref.
59153): Very high vulnerability (90 of 100).
Nutrients (Ref.
124155): Calcium = 31.2 [7.6, 142.6] mg/100g; Iron = 0.748 [0.186, 1.957] mg/100g; Protein = 21.9 [19.1, 25.0] %; Omega3 = 0.173 [0.049, 0.510] g/100g; Selenium = 45 [12, 123] μg/100g; VitaminA = 11.6 [5.2, 25.7] μg/100g; Zinc = 1.02 [0.50, 1.85] mg/100g (wet weight);
