Distribution and Habitat
The yellow shovelnose stingaree inhabits a relatively narrow zone of the outer continental shelf between 100–210 m (330–690 ft) deep, stretching off Western Australia from Shark Bay to at least the Houtman Abrolhos, and probably to Perth. A similar shovelnose stingaree found from Rottnest Island to the western Great Australian Bight may also be of this species. This fairly common, bottom-dwelling ray prefers sandy habitats.
