Narcine is a genus of cartilaginous fish commonly known as numbfish or numb rays. They belong to the family Narcinidae and are primarily found in warm, shallow waters. These fish are characterized by their flattened bodies and broad pectoral fins, which give them a ray-like appearance. They are known for their ability to produce electric shocks, which they use for defense and to stun prey. Narcine species typically have a diet consisting of small fish and invertebrates. They are bottom-dwellers, often found resting on the ocean floor. Their unique adaptations, such as the electric organ, make them fascinating subjects of study in marine biology.
