Prehistoric Monster Rare Giant Sawfish Caught

Sawfish, which is part of Pristidae Pristis. Some like shark stingray class collectively.

Sawfish distribution in the world's tropical and subtropical shallow water, benthic, often in and out of harbors, estuaries, rivers and sometimes can be traced back a considerable distance the head, body length, flat flat, kiss prolonged like sawshark that was sword-shaped, two side edge with strong teeth. The maximum body length of up to 7 meters. Although not generally regarded as dangerous fish, but accounted for a third of the full-length body kiss saws but also daunting. Kiss saw for feeding activity, or use it to explore the underlying biological, or for waving in the fish, the killing or wounding the fish.

Sawfish belong to Chondrichthyes Elasmobranchii saw rajiformes. Kiss flat flat narrow, sword-like projections, margin with hard kiss teeth. No muzzle ditch. Gill openings 5, abdominal position, located inside of the pectoral fin base. Two dorsal fins without spines; pectoral fin leading edge of the rear extension of the head side; thick tail, tail fin developed; and even the odd fin fin cartilage rotate the rear end with a lot of horny rays. No fleshy tentacles.

Sawfish use huge saw that the same as the rake sieve filtration sand bottom in search of food. But the fact is not sluggish sawfish underwater inhabitants, they are cruel predators can prey in the water body cut in half, just like humans, like swordsmen.

To live in the shallow water, some into the river, river, lake, or even to settle and breed in fresh water. Sawfish typically alternate in seawater and freshwater life, while Australia's freshwater sawfish is completely inhabit the estuary or river upstream from the ocean, 100 kilometers away.

Ovoviviparous fetus with a large yolk sac, saw soft kiss, kiss the tooth wrapped in film. Each producing more than about 10 earners. When the larvae just born, body length of about 60 cm. Adult fish maximum length of up to nine meters, kiss Saw 2 meters long, 30 cm wide.

In 2015, scientists discovered the wild can comb tooth sawfish virgin reproduction in the natural environment, which is so far the first example of a vertebrate found in nature for such asexual reproduction and sufficient evidence.

Distributed in tropical and subtropical coastal waters and all major estuaries, some into the river, river, lake, or even to settle and breed in fresh water. Found in the South China Sea, also found in the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, Oceania northeast.

Tines sawfish, first dorsal fin in front of the rear end of the upper pelvic base; caudal significantly lower lobe front triangle prominent; snout teeth 21 to 35 pairs. Located in the South China Sea and the South China Sea, it is also found in the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Indonesia. Slow action, often lurking on the sand, digging with a kiss saw foraging, occasionally rising to the surface, exposing the dorsal fin. The main subject sediment crustaceans or other invertebrates, but also with a kiss attack saw flocks of fish and eat their injured individuals.

Small tooth sawfish, before the start of the first dorsal fin to the pelvic fins; lower lobe of caudal fin protruding front triangle; snout teeth 17 to 22 pairs. Found in the South China Sea, also found in the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, Oceania northeast.

Comb tooth sawfish, we have long kiss, the top covered with teeth, and will be used to attack small fish kiss. Comb tooth sawfish mainly in parts of southwestern Florida, can grow up to 25 feet (7.6 meters), and sharks, this fish is cartilaginous fish.

Sawfish slower growth rate, larval production under vulnerable to other predatory fish attacks, coupled with the human overfishing and environmental pollution, so the number is rapidly reduced. Previously lived in sawfish extensive Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic has now completely disappeared in the European waters.

The current decline in the number of wild sawfish there is a certain relationship with their "big saw", because when the fishermen prey easily entangled in the nets on the big saw, making them difficult to escape.

According to the British "Mirror" reported on June 12, in the Florida Keys away from the warm waters, a sailor with a camera to capture a length over 4.2 m of sawfish, saw its iconic shape nose and several ten tooth is clearly visible in the photo.

It is reported that sawfish up to about 7 meters. Because people of overfishing and hunting behavior, early in 2003 the US government had to sawfish as endangered species. It is because of this very precious rare species, this time in the lens of sawfish make all the witnesses were very surprised.
