Etymology: Dipturus: Greek, di = two + Greek, pteryx = fin (Ref. 45335).
Eponymy: Dr Eugene Willis Gudger (1866–1956) was an associate in ichthyology at the AMNH, New York, which he joined (1919) and later became Curator of Fishes. [...] (Ref. 128868), visit book page.

Indo-West Pacific: southern Australia, from Western Australia to New South Wales.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Occur over soft bottoms of the continental slope (Ref. 7300, 75154). Mainly feeds on small bony fishes (Ref. 114953). Oviparous (Ref. 50449). Eggs have horn-like projections on the shell (Ref. 205); egg cases ca. 19 cm long (Ref. 114953). This species reaches maturity at ca. 13 years. Length of mature males at ca. 120 cm TL; young hatch at ca. 26 cm TL (Ref. 114953).
Life cycle and mating behavior Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Oviparous, paired eggs are laid. Embryos feed solely on yolk (Ref. 50449).

Estimates based on models
|
Phylogenetic diversity index (Ref. 82804) |
PD50 = 0.5000 [Uniqueness, from 0.5 = low to 2.0 = high]. |
| Bayesian length-weight | a=0.00288 (0.00136 - 0.00610), b=3.25 (3.08 - 3.42), in cm total length, based on LWR estimates for this Genus-body shape (Ref. 93245). |
|
Trophic level (Ref. 69278) |
4.0 ±0.6 se; based on size and trophs of closest relatives |
|
Resilience (Ref. 120179) |
Low, minimum population doubling time 4.5 - 14 years (Assuming fecundity<100). |
|
Fishing Vulnerability (Ref. 59153) |
Very high vulnerability (85 of 100). 🛈 |
