The Gulf torpedo (Torpedo sinuspersici) or variable electric ray, is a species of electric ray in the family Torpedinidae. It is found in the Indian Ocean, but may represent a species flock of several local endemic species.[1] It is distinguishable from other Torpedo species in its range by its ornate dorsal coloration.[2] Another common name, marbled electric ray, is not to be confused with Torpedo marmorata.
