Abstract:
The species Aetobatus flagyllem was caught and reclassified in the Iraqi marine waters on board the boat Anwar 2, and from its specifications, 17 morphometric traits were calculated. The species contains three thorns to defend against prey. It is noted that some morphometric traits are close to each other after using the PCA analysis for some traits of the species from different environments.
