Giant Oceanic Manta Ray (Manta birostris). As its name suggests, the Giant Oceanic Manta Ray is generally larger than its smaller reef resident relatives, with average disc-widths of around 4-5 metres (13-16.5 ft) and in extremely large specimens exceeding 7 metres (23 ft). Large oceanic mantas might weigh up to 2 tonnes (4,440lbs).
Dive tourism involving manta rays is a growing industry, and can potentially give the giant manta ray more economic value than the short-term profits from fishing. However, the industry needs to be appropriately managed to prevent harm to the giant manta ray or its habitat and to ensure that it remains sustainable.
