The shortnose guitarfish (Zapteryx brevirostris) is a species of fish in the Trygonorrhinidae family found in the southwest Atlantic in coastal parts near sandy sea floors of southern Brazil, through Uruguay, to northeast Argentina.While the guitarfish is reported to range in northeast Argentina, there are reports of them traveling down to the Falkland Islands. This voyage could be due to Brazil’s current changing in the summer months.[2][1] It reaches a length of 66 cm (2.17 ft).[3] Their diet consist of Crabs, worms, clams and small fishes. The guitarfish has become critically endangered because of the rapid decline caused by overfishing.
