Largetooth Sawfish (Pristis perotetti)
The largetooth sawfish (Pristis perotteti) and the smalltooth sawfish (Pristis pectinata) are the only
species of sawfish inhabiting U.S. waters. Overfishing and habitat destruction, coupled with low intrinsic
rates of population increase, have resulted in the decline of both sawfish species from most of their
original U.S. ranges. Data for largetooth sawfish was and remains very limited. Learn more about the life history
and conservation status of this rarely observed species.
