The Tasmanian numbfish (Narcine tasmaniensis) is a species of electric ray in the family Narcinidae. Endemic to southeastern Australia, this common ray inhabits shallow continental shelf waters in the southern portion of its range and deeper continental slope waters in the northern portion of its range. Bottom-dwelling and sedentary, the Tasmanian numbfish feeds mainly on polychaete worms and crustaceans. As in all numbfishes, it can produce a moderate electric shock to defend itself against predators.
