Aetobatus narutobiei, the Naru eagle ray, is a species of

Myliobatidae. It is found in the northwest Pacific off south Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong and Vietnam.[1][2] It occurs from shallow, coastal flats to a depth of 59 m (194 ft), but always in water warmer than 15 °C (59 °F).[1]

Until 2013, this species was included in the
