Electrocytes are multinucleated with the nuclei located throughout the smooth and rough zones, but absent from the central laminated zone.
Stomach contents of numerous rays (T.californica) consisted primarily of anchovies, although demersal fish are a common substitute.
Unlike most rays, electric rays swim by using their well developed tails for propulsion while their pectoral fins remain immobile as their near neutral buoyancy allows them to drift motionless with minimal sinking.
