An unidentified sawfish (either a largetooth or smalltooth sawfish) was captured off Central America at a depth in excess of 175 m (575 ft). [ 64 ] The dwarf and largetooth sawfish are strictly warm-water species that generally live in waters that are 25–32 °C (77–90 °F) and 24–32 °C (75–90 °F) respectively.
The smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) is a species of sawfish in the family Pristidae. It is found in shallow tropical and subtropical waters in coastal and estuarine parts of the Atlantic. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] Reports from elsewhere are now believed to be misidentifications of other species of sawfish.

A combination of characters are necessary to distinguish it from the other sawfish species: the longcomb sawfish has teeth to near the base of the rostrum or "saw" (unlike the knifetooth sawfish, Anoxypristis cuspidata), 23–37 teeth on each side of the rostrum (18–24 in the dwarf sawfish, P. clavata, 20–32 in smalltooth sawfish, P ...
Known for its long, flat and teeth-edged snout — resembling a saw, hence the name — the smalltooth sawfish is one of five species of sawfish belonging to the ray family of fish, NOAA says. The ...
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.
