The Mobulidae are zooplanktivorous elasmobranchs comprising two recognized species of
manta rays (Manta spp.) and nine recognized species of devil rays (Mobula spp.). They are …

A new bio-inspired optimization technique, named Manta Ray Foraging Optimization
(MRFO) algorithm, is proposed and presented, aiming to providing a novel algorithm that …

Geopolymer concrete is an eco-efficient and environmentally friendly construction material.
Various ashes were used as the binder in geopolymer concrete, such as fly ash, ground …

Manta and devil rays of the subfamily Mobulinae (mobulids) are rarely studied, large,
pelagic elasmobranchs, with all eight of well‐evaluated species listed on the IUCN Red List …

This report provides a review of our knowledge of the bycatches, defined as discarded dead,
from the tropical tuna purse seine fisheries of the world. The major fishing grounds involved …

The taxonomic history of the genus Manta has been questionable and convoluted, with
Manta having one of the most extensive generic and species synonymies of any living …

Manta and devil rays are filter-feeding elasmobranchs that are found circumglobally in
tropical and subtropical waters. Although relatively understudied for most of the Twentieth …

The manta is the largest marine organism to swim by dorsoventral oscillation (flapping) of
the pectoral fins. The manta has been considered to swim with a high efficiency stroke, but …

Through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of a model manta ray body, the
hydrodynamic role of manta-like bioinspired flapping is investigated. The manta ray model …
