That's a Lotta Stingrays, Ay?

Righto:
We know a lotta cows is called a "herd".
A lotta of birds is called a "flock".
A lotta of crows, a "murder".

What do we call a lotta of stingrays?

You might think twice about going for a dip if you come across an amazing spectacle like this, as thousands of stingrays swim together off the west central coast of Florida. The large group of stinging creatures, referred to as a ‘fever’ was spotted recently at Tampa Bay.

Several types of stingrays are known to frequent the bay, so it's not exactly clear what kind of stingrays these are. However local news station WFTS Tampa Bay reported cownose rays tend to swim in large groups in the bay. The marine fish migrate north in late spring from areas in western Florida to Mexico.

A squadron?

No, I think that is for a flock of pelicans.

A flotilla?

I have always been fascinated with stingrays, with their "fluid" movement.
