Sawfishes, also known as carpenter sharks, are a family of rayscharacterized by a long, narrow, flattened rostrum, or nose extension, lined with sharp transverse teeth, arranged in a way that resembles a saw. Several species of sawfishes can grow to about 7 m (23 ft).[2][3][4] The family as a whole is largely unknown and little studied. The Pristidae are the only living family within the orderPristiformes, whose name comes from the Ancient Greek: πρίστης, translit.prístēs, lit. ‘saw, sawyer’.[5]
