Whitespotted eagle rays (Aetobatus narinari, LSID urn:lsid:marinespecies.org:taxname:217426) were spotted visually from a moving vessel and collected via a knotted seine net by encircling the animal and entangling it. Rays were brought aboard for measurements, photographs and tagging (Passive Integrated Transponder and CATS-CAM) and kept in a small plastic pool with ambient seawater. Once procedures were complete, rays were released on site, or brought to the Bermuda Aquarium for further examination. Techniques described in the following Ajemian et al. (2012) and Bassos-Hull et al. (2014).
