Onchopristis is an extinct genus of sclerorhynchoid from the Cretaceous of North Africa, Europe, North America, and potentially South America.It contains two valid species, O. numida and O. dunklei, though some researchers argue that both may be considered a single taxon with variation in morphology caused by a wide geographical range.

Sawfish are mostly found in relatively shallow waters, typically at depths less than 10 m (33 ft), [2] and occasionally less than 1 m (3.3 ft). [61] Young prefer very shallow places and are often found in water only 25 cm (10 in) deep. [4] Sawfish can occur offshore, but are rare deeper than 100 m (330 ft). [2]

A group of marine scientists may have finally determined what caused dozens of sawfish in Florida waters to exhibit unusual behavior and die off during the last several months.

“If the opportunity presents itself, this would be the first attempt ever to rescue and rehabilitate smalltooth sawfish from the wild,” said Adam Brame, NOAA Fisheries’ sawfish recovery coordinator. Sawfish, related to rays, skates and sharks, are named for their elongated, flat snout that contains a row of teeth on each side. They can ...
Pristis is a genus of sawfish of the family Pristidae. These large fish are found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions in coastal marine waters, estuaries, and freshwater lakes and rivers. [3] Sawfish have declined drastically and all species are considered critically endangered today. [4] [5]
Endangered smalltooth sawfish, marine creatures virtually unchanged for millions of years, are exhibiting erratic spinning behavior and dying in unusual numbers in Florida waters. Federal and ...
