The common stingaree is a bottom-dweller that favors sandy flats and rocky reefs, and also ventures well upstream into brackish estuaries. Most often it is found between the surf zone to a depth of 60 m (200 ft), though there are records from offshore, soft-bottomed areas as far down as 135 m (443 ft). [1] [4]
The Kapala stingaree (U. kapalensis), one of several newly described urolophidsThe German biologists Johannes Müller and Jakob Henle created the genus Urolophus in 1837; [1] in their subsequent 1838–41 Systematische Beschreibung der Plagiostomen, the pair created the genus Trygonoptera and also made the first reference to the urolophids as a group.

Therefore, the IUCN has listed this species under Least Concern. It would potentially benefit from the implementation of the 2004 Australian National Plan ...
