Scientists conducting a survey in Long Island Sound made a rare catch last week when they reeled in a massive roughtail stingray not normally seen in the waters off thefrom Connecticut Fish and Wildlife, the Long Island Sound Trawl Survey team was out on the water on Wednesday when it trawled the string ray, which was estimated to be about 6 feet long, 5 feet wide and weighing about 400 pounds.
A photo of the massive stingray showed it on its back, so the crew quickly took measurements and got it back into the water rather than trying to roll it over. Connecticut Fish and Wildlife said the stingray was able to swim away and was alive and well when it slipped below the surface of the water.
