However, sawfishes are not sharks, but a type of ray.

While popular in public aquaria, sawfishes are difficult to maintain because of their size.

Sawfishes have declined drastically and few records are recent in several regions.

Sawfishes are nocturnal, usually sleeping during the day and hunting at night.

Their long snouts lined with pointy teeth make sawfishes hard to miss.

Although they are similar in appearances, sawsharks are distinct from sawfishes.

Sawfishes should not be confused with sawsharks (order Pristiophoriformes), which have a similar appearance.

For example, sawfishes double as power saws.

The sawfishes are characterised by the long, narrow, flattened rostrum or extension on their snout.

For example, sawfishes were once relatively common in the northeast Atlantic off West Africa, but few recent sightings are reported.

Sawsharks and sawfishes are cartilaginous fishes possessing large saws.

A Predator Lagoon is full of sawfishes, barracudas, stingrays, and sharks.

These are the whale shark, basking shark, great white shark, and seven sawfishes.

Among the findings, the survey has also revealed freshwater sawfishes in Western Australia's Fitzroy system.

The shark-like rays (the sawfishes and shovelnose rays) supply the highest quality fin.

Full-grown rostral teeth measured less than in other Sclerorhynchoidea, let alone sawfishes, at 1-2 cm tall and 4-8 mm wide.

Dr Stevens said it has been during this process that scientists often received news of sightings of freshwater sharks and sawfishes from river systems.

Order Pristiformes (sawfishes)

Fishes of the Western North Atlantic. Sawfishes, guitarfishes, skate and rays, chimaeroides.

Batoidea is a superorder of cartilaginous fish commonly known as batoids or rays, but it also includes the skates and sawfishes.

As the most endangered species of sharks and rays are sawfishes, Dulvy and co-authors then developed the first global sawfish conservation strategy.

The fins from the critically endangered sawfishes "are highly favored in Asian markets and are some of the most valuable shark fins."

The dwarf sawfish is protected in Australian waters, but elsewhere in the world, sawfishes are harvested for their meat, fins, rostrums and oil.

The taxonomy of the sawfish family Pristidae has been described as chaotic, with uncertainty as to the true number of valid species.
