The Persian Gulf torpedo

The Gulf torpedo or variable electric ray, is a species of electric ray in the family Torpedinidae. It is found in the Indian Ocean, but may represent a species flock of several local endemic species. It is distinguishable from other ''Torpedo'' species in its range by its ornate dorsal coloration. Another common name, marbled electric ray, is not to be confused with ''Torpedo marmorata''.
