Artist Note: At times customers or anglers request us to use a reference photograph to paint by. If so our skilled artists will identify any unique characteristics in the photo which are later reflected in the completed paint scheme. This is why no two mounts are ever exactly alike and explains the differences you may see in the coloration of the various mounts.

- Fishmount Species Information
- Scientific Name: Rhinobatidae
- Average Weight: 10 - 15 lbs.
- Location & Habitat: The Atlantic guitarfish inhabits the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to the northern Gulf of Mexico and Yucatan, Mexico. Mostly found in tropical coastal waters, this fish occasionally occurs in estuaries and freshwater habitats. These fish often bury themselves in sand, mud, or weedy bottoms near patch reefs. They can also be found along beaches anywhere from the shoreline to as far out as 98 feet deep and are believed to tolerate fresh, brackish, and marine water.
- Biology: One of the smaller species of guitarfish, the Atlantic guitarfish only reaches a total length of approximately 30 inches. Males have been recorded at 29.5 inches total length and females at 29.9 inches total length.
- Physical Description: Guitarfish have the appearance of both a shark and a skate, their bodies are flattened like a skate or ray and the tail has two dorsal fins similar to most sharks. The pectoral fins are fused to the head, creating a heart- or triangle-shaped head and body. A few tubercles are typically found on the tip of the snout. The origin of the first dorsal fin of the Atlantic guitarfish is behind the pelvic fins. The Atlantic guitarfish has no spine on its tail. The dorsal side of the Atlantic guitarfish is gray, olive brown, or chocolate brown and typically with white freckles covering the surface.
