EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning underwater photograph, captured by the talented French marine photographer Barathieu Gabriel, a Manta Ray (Mobula alfredi) gracefully feeds in the crystal-clear waters of Mayotte, a coastal island located in the Indian Ocean. With its distinctive triangular pectoral fins spread wide, this majestic creature glides through the water, creating gentle ripples as it moves. Manta Rays, also known as "devil rays" or "duivelsrochen" in Dutch, are large cartilaginous fish belonging to the family Mobulidae. They are characterized by their large, flat, cephalic fins, which resemble wings, and their elongated, diamond-shaped pectoral fins. Manta Rays are filter feeders, using their large mouths to take in large volumes of water, which they filter through gill rakers to extract plankton and small organisms. This particular species, Mobula alfredi, is also known as the "Alfred's Manta" or "Mayotte Manta," and is a resident of the inshore and lagoon waters of the western Indian Ocean. Manta Rays are important apex predators in their ecosystems and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the marine food chain. The vibrant blue waters of this photograph provide a breathtaking backdrop to the Manta Ray's elegant feeding display. The image captures the essence of the underwater world, showcasing the beauty and grace of these magnificent creatures, as they go about their daily lives in the marine environment. This photograph is a testament to the rich marine biodiversity of the Indian Ocean and the importance of preserving and protecting these fragile ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. The image is a true masterpiece of marine photography, capturing the raw power and elegance of the underwater world.
