The diet of the eastern shovelnose ray has been closely examined through stomach content analysis of 76 individual specimens at Moreton Bay, south-eastern Queensland.^[1]

The reproductive cycle of 101 specimens was examined over the course of a 14 month period and determined that the eastern shovelnose ray has a distinct annual and seasonal reproductive style within Moreton Bay.^[2]

The New South Wales Government report outlines key information about the eastern shovelnose ray, such as habitat and reproductive cycles, as well as detailed insight into commercial trawling and recreational fishing of the species; the report emphasises that the eastern shovelnose ray is the most significant species caught among rajiformes.^[3]

As elasmobranchs are known for their highly-developed sense of smell, developmental changes were examined in 7 species, including the eastern shovelnose ray, revealing that olfaction is particularly important to juveniles as they are vulnerable to higher rates of predation.^[4]

The Sydney Fish Market outlines which parts of the ray to eat, how to safely store the fillets, and various cooking methods and recommended pairings.^[5]
