Answer 1

rays are elasmobranchs, cousins to sharks and skates. There are many scientists who study rays an skates since the number of these species is greater than the total species of sharks. Check the web site for THe American Elasmobranch Society and you will find contact people. I work with sharks and skates as my major research animal.

Answer 2

Answer 3

well i think  marine biologists study all marine life but some specialize in one animal but its hard to guess how many people study them and we will never know everything about anything theres always somethin new bein discovered about something "old" so i whould say go for it!
